What is Git?
Definition
Git is a distributed version control system that tracks changes to files over time. It enables branching, merging, collaboration, and full project history. Every developer's local copy contains the complete repository history.
Why It Matters
Git is the universal version control system used by virtually all software teams. GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket provide hosted Git platforms. Mastering Git (branching, rebasing, cherry-picking, conflict resolution) is a core developer skill.
