git

Git is the distributed version control system (DVCS) that tracks source code changes, ensuring data integrity and enabling non-linear development workflows.

Git is the free, open-source distributed version control system (DVCS) created by Linus Torvalds in 2005 to manage the Linux kernel. Engineered for speed and efficiency, it handles projects from small to extremely large, storing the entire 1.4 million commit history of the Linux project in only 5.5 GB . Its core design supports non-linear development (branching/merging) and guarantees data integrity via cryptographic hashing. According to a 2022 Stack Overflow survey, 96% of professional developers use Git, making it the industry standard for collaborative software development .
