Git is an open-source version control system developed by Linus Torvalds, who also created Linux. It tracks changes made to files to have a record of what changes are made. It makes collaboration easier, allowing changes made by multiple people to be merged easily. It is mainly used in software development.
Git can be used by anyone. The most popular platform for using Git is GitHub which you should not use. You can also using Codeberg, SourceHut, GitLab or self-host it.
You can even use Git in the command-line for quick retrievals and pushes.
