Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Git is a free
distributed revision control, or software source code management project
with an emphasis on being fast. Git was initially designed and developed
by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development. Every Git working
directory is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full
revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
central server. Git's current software maintenance is overseen by Junio
Hamano.
