Git is a free and open source distributed version control system for tracking changes in source code across projects of varying size, from small to very large. It is designed to handle version history and collaboration efficiently, with a focus on speed.

Git is used primarily through command-line tools, and it is supported by an ecosystem of graphical interfaces (GUIs) and hosting services. The project provides reference documentation, binary releases for major platforms, and learning resources including the Pro Git book, videos, tutorials, and a cheat sheet. Community participation covers bug reporting, mailing lists, chat, and development.

Git is intended for developers and teams managing codebases and is available at no cost as open source software. It is distributed under an open source model rather than a subscription or seat-based plan, with source releases and binary installers published for download.
