Version Control is an essential tool for project management. Therefore we present the distributed version control system Git, which is well established in the Linux community. Git can be used not only for large projects - such as kernel development - but also for working together on smaller projects or for versioning your own projects. Additionally, Git does not only work for software projects. We strongly encourage to use it in other projects like writing a thesis as well.
