Git
Git is a version control system that records every change to a set of files as a history of commits, so you can see, review, and undo changes.
What it does
Git tracks changes to files over time. Every saved change is a commit with an author, a timestamp, and a description. You can compare versions, work on changes in parallel with branches, and roll back mistakes.
Why websites are built on it
- The website's code and content live together in one repository
- Hosts like Vercel, Netlify, and Cloudflare deploy automatically from Git
- Every change, from a developer, a client, or an AI agent, is recorded and reversible
- Coding agents work directly with Git repositories
Git for content
Git wasn't designed for marketers, but its guarantees are exactly what content needs: history, review, and rollback. A Git-based CMS gives non-developers those guarantees without the command line. GitCMS is built on this idea: every save is a real Git commit.
