Description

Git is one of the fundamental tools used in software engineering and collaborative document writing. Paired with platforms like Github, it allows individuals and teams to work on the same documents, create automations to compile, deploy, compute and more when making changes to the project. It can simplify workflows and automate repetitive tasks. Its decentralized functionality allows it to be used during expeditions where Internet is limited or unavailable.
