# Git

**Git** is a version control system for tracking changes to code. Initialize a folder as a git repository to save snapshots of your work, branch to experiment safely, and synchronize with teammates via remotes.

Every change is recorded as a **commit**, a snapshot of your project at a point in time. You can view history, revert to old commits, and understand who changed what and why. Git is decentralized—each person gets a full copy of the repository's history, so you work offline and sync with others when ready.

```bash
$ git init                    # create a repository
$ git add .                   # stage changes
$ git commit -m "message"     # create a commit
$ git push origin main        # push to remote
```

On a multi-person project, branching lets each developer work in isolation without conflicts. Create a branch, make changes, and merge back when ready.
