Git

Git is a distributed version control system that records and manages changes to files, above all source code, in a traceable way. It was originally created in 2005 for the development of the Linux kernel and is now the most widely used tool of its kind.

Every copy of a Git repository contains the complete version history, so developers can work even without a constant server connection. Branches allow features to be developed in parallel and merged later, which gives team collaboration a structure and keeps changes traceable at all times.
