About

Git is the universal version control system — every major code platform (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket), CI/CD pipeline, and deployment workflow is built on it. Even working alone, Git gives you a full history of every change, the ability to experiment on branches, and a safety net for mistakes. macOS ships an older version via Xcode Command Line Tools; installing via Homebrew gives you the latest release and keeps it updatable.
