Hi all: GIT is a distributed source code management system created by Linus Torvalds to manage the Linux code base.
Recently, Linus delivered a talk on this very important OpenSource product at Googleplex. The video is available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8 For a quick overview of the product please take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29 thanks Saifi.
