Git is a freely available open source system for distributed version control. It is fast, scalable and system version control (tweaking log) files. As we know in the programming world, when writing hundreds of codes, frequent changes always occur. And these changes can be monitored and reversed with the help of the GIT; other files may be made available to others through “repositories” or changes may be obtained from others. If necessary, settings from publicly accessible repositories (repos) can be imported into a “working copy” or you can make your own settings available to others. This gives the programmer better control over each version of the files, complete history and control of changes made. All this without any central server. It’s open source, so Git is also often used as a development platform, including for the Linux kernel.
