Git

Git is the world's most widely used distributed version control system for tracking changes in source code during software development.

Git is a free, open-source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Created by Linus Torvalds in 2005, Git has become the standard tool for source code management in the software development industry.

At iConcept, Git is fundamental to our development workflow. We use Git with GitHub for version control, code reviews, and collaborative development across our team. Every project we build uses Git branching strategies to ensure code quality and enable smooth deployment processes.
