[[Github Overview]]
Git is the name of a distributed version control system. It plays the role of the CVS or SVN control systems that WeBWorK has used in the past
 
but the details of how it works are somewhat different. For obtaining up-to-date copies of software there is not much difference between git
 
and previous VCS. Developers however should read closely since git has a different conceptualization of how version control should be handled.
 
The difference allows considerably more flexibility for collaborative development. Consolidation no longer depends on a single site or single
 
administrator. Updates are also more modular and therefore easier to check and repair or remove if they cause trouble.
