  33 <h1>Git - Fast Version Control System</h1>
  34
  35 <p>Git is popular version control system
  36 designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency;
  37 it is used mainly for various open source projects,
  38 most notably the Linux kernel.</p>
  39
  40 <p>Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools,
  41 similar to e.g. GNU Arch or Monotone (or BitKeeper in the commercial world).
  42 Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full revision
  43 tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server.</p>
  44
  45 <p>Git is an <a href="http://www.opensource.org/">Open Source</a> project covered by
  46 the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt">GNU General Public License</a>.
  47 It was originally written by Linus Torvalds and is currently maintained by
  48 <a href="mailto:junkio@cox.net">Junio C Hamano</a>.</p>
