Git is the fast, scalable, distributed revision control system originally written by Linus Torvalds, implemented in C with a rich command set. This repository is the official source code mirror for the project, maintained via a mailing-list-based development workflow.
Use cases
- track changes to source code across a team
- create branches and merge code changes
- clone and contribute to open-source repositories
- maintain a full offline history of a project
- review and revert changes with diffs and logs
When to choose
- you need the canonical, reference implementation of version control
- you want a mature, extremely widely supported SCM tool
- you need low-level access to git internals or want to contribute to git itself
When to avoid
- you want a GUI-first version control experience
- you need a simpler centralized VCS workflow without local history
