 # Git basics
 
-Git is a version control system, or VCS, tracks the history of changes as people and teams collaborate on projects together.
+[Git](https://git-scm.com/) is a [version control system (VCS)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_control) that tracks the history of changes as people and teams collaborate on projects together.
 As developers make changes to the project, any earlier version of the project can be recovered at any time.
 
-Developers can review project history to find out:
-
-- Which changes were made?
-- Who made the changes?
-- When were the changes made?
-- Why were changes needed?
+Developers can review project history to find out _who_ made _what_ changes _when_ and _why_.
