Right. So it's a (better) replacement for things like SVN/CVS/... (The
gist of these tools is that you version a set of files and can easily
see the history of each file or go back to previous versions.)
You can download git from here:

Thanks Alex. Maggie, please ask if any of that sounds too much like
technobabble. Also, don't let the command line shock you. :)
There are graphical UI's available, like e.g.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gitextensions/

Hope this helps a bit,
