Git at a glance
Git is the standard version-control system, on practically every developer and CI machine. The project ships releases in an unhurried cadence; security fixes occasionally address flaws in how Git handles repositories, submodules or credential helpers — and because Git runs over untrusted repositories, those matter.
For admins Git usually comes from the distribution or a vendor package. For the periodic Git security advisories, check that the patched version is installed, especially on build systems and shared servers where untrusted repositories are cloned. New versions bring features and fixes. Credential helpers store secrets — protect them. On Windows, Git for Windows bundles additional components that carry their own updates. Keep CI and developer machines on a current, supported Git.
