What is Git?

Git is a distributed version control system used to track changes in code, collaborate on projects, and manage the development history.

Git's key idea:

• it stores all changes to files over time;
• it lets you roll back to any state of the project;
• it lets multiple developers work in parallel without interfering with each other.

#Main features of Git:

• storing change history (commits);
• working with branches (branching and merging);
• syncing the local repository with a remote one;
• safe development without risk of losing code.

Git works locally, and remote repositories (for example, GitHub, GitLab, Gitea) are just add-ons for collaboration.
