What is a Git (Linux speaking)?
In: 23
Git is a source code repository. It allows multiple developers working on a project to manage their changes to a single codebase without stepping all over each others work. Changes are committed to the repository in a way that there is a log of each change, which can be undone if needed. There is a LOT more to it than that, but at its core that’s what it is.
Git was originally developed by Linus Torvals (who created Linux) to manage the Linux source code, but it is not directly related/dependent on Linux. Many, many developers use it for a wide variety of projects.
