Git is a version control system that allows tracking and managing changes in code.
Git Bash is a terminal (shell) for Windows that provides a command-line interface with support for Unix/Linux commands and Git. It enables using Git commands in an environment similar to Linux on Windows.
Thus:
- Git is the version control system itself.
- Git Bash is a tool (terminal) that makes it convenient to work with Git on Windows, providing a Unix-like environment.
On Linux and macOS, the system terminal is usually used, where Git is already available, while on Windows, Git Bash helps create a similar environment.
