GIT is by far the most popular and widely used modern version control system system today.

GIT is a mature, actively managed open source project originally developer in 2005 by Linus Torvalds, the famous creator of the Linux operating system kernel.

We use GIT to maintain history of all our own code which we use for Iguana.

GIT is a command tool written in C which is part of why it’s so fast and stable.

It won against Mercurial which was written in Python.
