Git
Git tracks changes to files and keeps a project's history. Developers use it to work on separate changes, combine contributions, and return to earlier versions when needed.

Git stores a project as a history of commits, each recording a set of changes. Branches let people work on separate ideas before combining them. A repository can be copied between computers and shared through hosting services. Reviewing the differences makes collaboration and the reasons behind changes easier to follow.
What you can build
Support collaborative software projects, manage release versions, and experiment with new features in separate branches.
Collaborative feature work
Develop a new feature on its own branch, review the proposed changes with teammates, and merge it when the implementation is ready together.
Release history tracking
Tag a released version and inspect later changes, helping a team understand when a behavior changed and prepare a targeted correction when needed.
Things to consider
Git records changes but does not decide whether they are correct. Clear commits, reviews, tests, and a shared branching approach make the history more useful.
