|
|
|
|
|
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
|
|
|
|
|
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
|
|
|
|
|

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.

It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
|
|
|
|
|
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
