What is Git and Installing Git on your System (Windows)
What is GIT
Git is a free, open source distributed version control system application that can manage anything from small to very large projects with ease. Linus Torvalds founded it in 2005 to build the Linux kernel.Most teams and individuals need the functionality, efficiency, protection, and versatility that Git provides.

Choosing Credential helper
Git Credential Manager Core (GCM Core) is a secure Git credential helper built on .NET that runs on Windows and macOS
Git Credential Manager for Windows (GCM Windows) is a .NET Framework-based Git credential helper which runs on Windows. Likewise the Git Credential Manager for Mac and Linux (Java GCM) is a Java-based Git credential helper that runs only on macOS and Linux. Although both of these projects aim to solve the same problem (providing seamless multi-factor HTTPS authentication with Git), they are based on different codebases and languages which is becoming hard to manage to ensure feature parity.
