# Git
|
|
|
|
Git is a [free and open source](https://git-scm.com/about/free-and-open-source)
|
|

|
|
large projects with speed and efficiency.

|
|
[GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com) is a Git-based fully integrated platform for
|
|
software development. Besides Git's functionalities, GitLab has a lot of
|
|
powerful [features](https://about.gitlab.com/features/) to enhance your
