Can you explain the main purpose of the Git version control system?

Git is a distributed version control system designed to track changes in source code and other project files.

Main tasks of Git:

• Storing change history so you can revert to any previous version.
• Allows multiple developers to work on the same project in parallel, merge changes, and resolve conflicts.
• Provides branching and merging, which simplifies the development of new features and bug fixes.

Example of usage:

git init          # initialize repository
 git add .         # add files to index
 git commit -m "Initial commit"  # save changes

Thus, Git helps organize and control the development process.
