Overall Opinion: Created in 2005 by Linus Torvalds — the creator of Linux — Git has become the industry standard for software version control, and for good reason: it works and works well. Not to be confused with GitHub — which hosts Git repositories — Git is not only feature rich, it is also fast and has excellent support for nonlinear workflows. It also completely free to use and runs on just about every client imaginable. Among its near countless features are its distributed development architecture, its compatibility with existing protocols, its ability to handle large-scale projects and its plethora of options when it comes to merging file repositories. Git has a very basic low-level interface, which can be good or bad depending on your point of view. Programmers and other technical types generally love the interface, but others may prefer a visual front end, and there are many good third-party options for this. Git has few negatives. But its overabundance of features can make it difficult to learn, especially for users with limited experience with version control packages. It also does not have any access control mechanisms, but instead it is built to work with other tools that perform this function. Finally, there have been some security issues with it in the past.

Pros: The industry standard package for version control Fast and reliable Feature rich Completely free to use Many excellent third-party applications built off it, such as GitHub

Cons: Difficult to learn, especially for those new to version control software No access control
