Some background on Git

Git is a DVCS developed by Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel. The origin of Git dates back to 2005 when the relationship between the Linux kernel community and a proprietary distributed version control system called BitKeeper broke down.

In response to this, Torvalds sought to create a free, open-source DVCS that would meet the needs of the Linux kernel development process. Within just a few days, he conceptualized and laid the foundation for Git.

Prioritizing performance, security, flexibility, and non-linear development (supporting thousands of parallel branches), Git quickly gained traction within the software development community. Its design, which emphasizes speed, data integrity, and support for distributed workflows, made it a favorite among developers, and it has since become the de facto standard for version control in the software industry.
