git is a version control system^H^H^H^H basically a blockchain.

Good afternoon, todays #OpenSourceDaily project is https://github.com/git/git git is a version control system written in C under the GNU General Public license V2. Most people probably know about git because it has supercharged the open source movement. It focuses on developer productivity with features like branching, stashing, merging and distributed publishing to different remotes. The cli has a bit of a learning curve for new developers but it is very powerful and extensible. Before git was popular lots of version control systems would enforce things like locking a file so that only one developer could check it out at a time. This would absolutely wreak havoc on productivity by forcing you to wait for somebody to check in the file you needed to update.
