Git

Git is a distributed version control system for tracking changes in source code during software development. It is designed for coordinating work among programmers, but it can be used to track changes in any set of files.

Git publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: GitHub API, GitLab API, and Gitea API. Tagged areas include Distributed, Git, Open Source, Source Code Management, and Version Control.

Git’s developer surface includes documentation and 8 more developer resources.
