+<h1> About Git </h1>
+
+<h2> Git is fast </h2>
+
+<p>
+Git was built to work on the Linux kernel, meaning that it was built to handle
+repositories with tens of millions of lines of code from the start.
+Speed and performance has always been a primary design goal of Git.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Git also stores repository history efficiently. As of 2025, the current version
+of the Linux kernel's source code is 1.7 GB.
+Git stores the full history of the Linux project (1.4 million commits) in only 5.5 GB.
+</p>
+
+<h2> Git is widely used </h2>
+
+<p>
+According to the <a href="https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#version-control-version-control-system-prof">2022 Stack Overflow developer survey</a>,
+96% of professional developers use Git.
+</p>
+
+<h2> Git has a huge ecosystem of tools </h2>
+
+<p>
+The core Git project is just a command-line tool, but Git exploded in popularity
+in the early 2010s thanks to <a href="{{< relurl "tools/hosting">}}">Git hosting services</a>
+like GitLab, GitHub, and more.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Since Git was created, many
+<a href="{{< relurl "tools/guis" >}}">GUIs</a>, editor integrations,
+and
+<a href="{{< relurl "tools/command-line" >}}">command line tools</a>
+have been built to make working with Git more convenient.
+You favorite developer tools might already have a built-in Git integration.
+</p>
+
+<h2 id="free-and-open-source">Free and Open Source</h2>
+
+<p>
+  Git is released under the <a href="https://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-2.0">
+  GNU General Public License version 2.0</a>, which is an
+  <a href="https://opensource.org/docs/osd">open source license</a>.
+  The Git project chose to use GPLv2 to guarantee your freedom to
+  share and change free software---to make sure the software is
+  free for all its users.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  However, we do restrict the use of the term "Git" and the
+  <a href="{{< relurl "community/logos" >}}">logos</a> to avoid confusion. Please see our
+  <a href="{{< relurl "about/trademark" >}}">trademark</a> policy for details.
