# Git

Git was invented by Linus Torvalds and maintained primarily by Junio Hamano. This technology is the powerhouse behind the success of open source software, providing the tools needed for decentralized development, such as version control, diffing, and more.

[[YAML Datastore]] is a project by the [[DOF Initiative]] to create technologies to extend the capabilities of Git to [[open source]] hardware.
