Git was created in 2005 and became popular for code collaboration. In 2009, Eclipse adopted Git to replace CVS and SVN, moving the JGit and EGit projects to Eclipse.org. This led to the EGit plugin being released for Eclipse in 2010. Eclipse also hosts the Gerrit code review system and integrates with GitHub, making it easier for developers to use Git and collaborate on code.
