Git
Git is a distributed version control system for tracking changes, collaborating through branches, and keeping a history of a project.
Git tracks changes to files over time. A project can branch, merge, compare versions, and recover earlier work without passing zip files around.
Git is distributed, which means every clone has the project history. Services such as GitHub add collaboration around that history: pull requests, reviews, issues, automation, and release workflows.
The useful habit is keeping changes small and named well. A tidy commit history is not decoration. It is the trail you follow when a change needs explaining six months later.
