Git

Git is by far the most popular contemporary version control system in use today. Git is a mature, actively maintained open source project created by Linus Torvalds, the well-known inventor of the Linux operating system kernel, in 2005. Git is used for version control in a surprising number of software projects, both commercial and open source. Git-experienced developers are plentiful in the pool of accessible software development talent, and it runs well on a variety of operating systems and IDEs (Integrated Development Environments).

Most organisations and individuals want the functionality, performance, security, and flexibility that Git provides. Git's characteristics are listed above. Many teams believe Git to be superior to most other options in side-by-side comparisons.
