1. What made git the most popular system for version control management?

   Interesting question! The honest answer is that I don't know. But I have two guesses:

   • It's distributed. Alternative version control software had sequential version numbers so you had to sync with the main repository on a regular basis. That's fine and often really useful, and indeed many people use Git that way. Nevertheless, for projects where that was a hindrance, Git was ideal.
   • The power of Linux and Linus Thorvalds. When Git was created, it had a built-in huge audience and lots of people learned about it quickly. So that helped it grow quickly.

   FYI, I asked ChatGPT and got some additional information, but essentially agreement on both of those ideas.
