Software Fast Sync

Git is a revision control file system project begun by Linus Torvalds to manage the Linux kernel and now maintained by Junio Hamano. It is free software, released under the GNU General Public License version 2. Originally designed only as a low-level engine[1] that others could use to write front ends such as Cogito or StGIT, the core Git project has since become a complete revision control system[2] that is usable directly. It is targeted to run on Linux, but is perfectly usable on other Unix-like operating systems (like BSD, Solaris and Darwin). RegDoctor 166 it?Now you don't need HotSync button!

Git has been made to work under MS Windows using cygwin, but it is noticeably slower, due to its heavy use of file system features that are particularly fast on Linux[3][4].

Unique characteristics

Git's design is a synthesis of Torvalds' intimate knowledge of maintaining a large distributed development project, and of file system performance. Combined with his urgent need to produce a working system in short order, these factors led to the following characteristics:
