Git is a distributed version control system widely used in software development. It allows multiple contributors to collaborate on the same project simultaneously, manage parallel lines of development through branches, and track the full history of changes across commits. Beyond code, Git is equally effective for versioning any text-based content such as documentation, configuration files, or scientific papers written in LaTeX.

This tutorial introduces the core concepts and basic workflows of Git through hands-on examples, covering repository initialization, staging and committing changes, branching, and synchronizing with remote repositories.
