Git is an open-source Version Control System (VCS) that runs on your local machine. It is a powerful tool that allows you to save discrete versions of a project as you work on it and makes it possible for collaborators to work together on code-based projects (including fonts) in a controlled manner.
Using Git is essential to track the history of a project.
