Git
Git is a distributed Version Control System.
What this means is that you can have a copy of the entire history of some information (code / images / text etc) on your local machine. Everyone who copies this repository will get the entire history on their machine.
Version control is useful when working with others and for keeping a history of your work - sometimes you will want to look at who did what a week, month, or year ago. A version control system allows you to do this.
