Git

Git is an open-source distributed version control system for Windows. It is designed to manage software projects ranging from small codebases to very large projects. The tool helps developers organize and track changes made during development.

Git is intended for developers who need version control as part of their work. Its distributed design supports working with project files and their change history across development environments. The software is suitable for both experienced Git users and people who are learning to use the system.

The Windows version provides a lightweight, native set of tools for using Git on the Windows platform. It brings the full feature set of Git source control to Windows while including user interfaces appropriate for different levels of experience. This places Git in the Developer Tools category rather than in a general file-management or productivity category.

MirrorNest distributes Git by mirroring the official build directly on its own storage. Before publishing, MirrorNest scans the mirrored build for malware. The open-source license allows the software to be used as an open-source development tool, while the Windows platform designation helps readers identify the intended operating environment.
