Overview
Git for Windows 64 bit is a professional version-control application that can track changes in source code during software development, and one of the most used software solutions for coordinating work between programmers. In addition to tracking changes in code, it can also track changes in any other type of apps. To provide most scalability and versatility, Git is not created to fit in the traditional client-server system but is instead fully distributed, enabling every computer to have their own full-fledged repository that tracks version tracking and complete file history without relying on communication with a central server.
Conceived in 2005 by the father of Linus operating system Linus Torvalds, the oversight over Git was moved to Junio Hamano who was responsible for implementing numerous changes and upgrades over 30 different versions. As of early 2023, Git for Windows PC has reached version 2.35, with extensive updates that will enhance the app's features for tracking and planning non-linear software development, distributed coding, compatibility with current and upcoming protocols, handling of very large projects, cryptographic authentication, plugin support, data garbage management, object packing, data structures and more.
While it was originally created for use in a Linux environment, this app has received extensive support for BSD, macOS, Solaris, and Windows OS. Git for Windows remains one of the most popular versions of the app, with a lightweight native set of tools that feature both command line and GUI interface that can serve both novices and seasoned professionals. The app consists from Git BASH, Git GUI, and Shell integration for easier access, but it is worth to notice that Git source code can be accessed via a wide array of custom GUI application that can enhance your particular workflow for branding and merging of code, distributed version tracking, data assurance, area staging, and streamlined access. As of early 2023, the Git database can be accessed by 25 different GUI clients.
Git for Desktop is 100% free for both home and professional use and is developed under open source license that ensures timely arrival of new features, stability upgrades, and enhancements.
