Why choose Git?

The world's most popular version control system.

Lightning Fast

Git is optimized for performance. Committing, branching, merging, and comparing past versions are all optimized for performance.

Distributed

Every developer has the full history of the code. If your central server goes down, you have a backup right on your machine.

Data Integrity

Everything in Git is check-summed before it is stored. It's impossible to change the contents of any file or directory without Git knowing about it.
