What Is Git? Version Control Explained
Git is a free, open-source version control system that tracks every change you make to your code. It snapshots your project at each commit, so you can go back in time, experiment without fear, and collaborate without overwriting each other.
Why it matters
- Every save is a version you can return to.
- You can see who changed what, and why.
- Branches let you experiment safely.
Git is the engine; GitHub is the website built on top of it.
