# SLE 16 with Git: Git application container
[-Level_4-Green)](https://documentation.suse.com/sbp/server-linux/html/SBP-SLSA4/)
[](https://documentation.suse.com/container/all/html/Container-guide/index.html#container-verify)
## Description
Git is a distributed version control system that tracks
versions of files. Git is primarily designed for controlling source code in collaborative software development.
## Usage
This container provides the SUSE LLC version of Git.
Example of using Git container:
```ShellSession
$ podman run registry.suse.com/suse/git:2.51 git help
```
As Git requires a repository, the container
does not explicitly set an entrypoint. This way, you can launch the container in
interactive mode to clone a repository and work on it. To avoid losing all your changes when exiting the container, use a persistent volume mount on launch.
For more use cases and documentation, refer to the
[Git SCM documentation](https://git-scm.com/doc).

This documentation and the build recipe are licensed as GPL-2.0-only.
The container itself contains various software components under various open source licenses listed in the associated
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM).
