# Git Client

The Git Client brings central control and security to teams using Git, enabling them to store code in a stream while enjoying the familiar Git user experience.

Streams can be shared by developers using Git or OpenText Dimensions CM.

The Git Client is an extension to Git that supports the use of the standard Git command line, Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), and other tools using OpenText Dimensions CM as the remote repository.

For example, you can perform the following tasks:

Task | Description
--- | ---
Clone streams | Use the `clone` command to clone streams from OpenText Dimensions CM and populate a local Git repository.
Fetch code Pull code | Use the `fetch` and `pull` commands to update a local Git repository with changes from OpenText Dimensions CM. When you pull changes, each CM changeset becomes a Git commit.
Branch and merge | Use Git to branch, commit, and merge.
Push changes | Use the `push` command to push the changes from a Git repository back into OpenText Dimensions CM. Each Git commit becomes a CM changeset including the user ID and timestamp.
