    Introduction

    Git is a fast distributed revision control system.

    This manual is designed to be readable by someone with basic UNIX command-line skills, but no previous knowledge of Git.

    Chapter 1, Repositories and Branches and Chapter 2, Exploring Git history explain how to fetch and study a project using git—read these chapters to learn how to build and test a particular version of a software project, search for -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
