+Git is a version control system know for its lightning speed
+and being distributed. A version control system is a system
+for storing changes in a history tree and allow for multiple
+people to work on the same project without the risk of the
+code being too new to accept a submitted patch.
+
+When you are working it is important to keep track of changes
+so that you can find when edit step broke the system. But
+version control also lets you create branches, these are
+different versions of the same project being developed
+concurrently which lets your team implement features in
+parallel and merge them in into the mainline when stable.
+
+And other important feature of version control that can
+be used to tag releases of the code. If you have release
+a program and is sent a bug report you may want to test
+it one both the current version and the version the user
+used.
