Git is a distributed version control system used to track changes in files, especially source code. It helps individuals and teams work on the same project without losing history, overwriting each other's work, or guessing what changed.

In practice, Git helps you:

• keep a history of your work
• create branches to try changes safely
• review changes before merging them
• roll back when something goes wrong
