'''Git''' is | '''Git''' is a version control system used by the [[FlightGear]] project to store all of the files required to build FlightGear, as well as data (mainly [[aircraft]]). Git tracks updates to every file as developers around the world work together concurrently to create new versions. | ||
While new FlightGear features and additions are in development, they are available from Git before they are available in the standard release version. Using Git allows a user to build the newest possible version of FlightGear from the latest source files, to experiment with new aircraft or other features. However, it's not a beginner's tool. Using Git can expose the user to unstable features that show ugly error messages, or crash the computer. | While new FlightGear features and additions are in development, they are available from Git before they are available in the standard release version.
