Git
A distributed version control system with local repositories and recorded change history.
Record locally and share deliberately
Git is a distributed version control system. A local repository can contain recorded project states and their history. Many tasks, including creating a commit, are possible without connecting to a hosting service. Git and a provider such as GitHub are different things.
In a fictional example, a developer changes a heading while travelling and creates a local commit. The team can access this revision through an authorised sharing path once it has been shared. Deploying the application is another step; project configuration determines whether it starts automatically after sharing. Clarify separately where the authoritative shared history lives, who may integrate changes and which checks are required before deployment.
