What is Atom?
At GitHub, we're building the text editor we've always wanted. A tool you can customize to do anything, but also use productively on the first day without ever touching a config file. Atom is modern, approachable, and hackable to the core. We can't wait to see what you build with it.
What is Git?
Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
