The document provides an overview of Git, a distributed revision control system created by Linus Torvalds in 2005, and highlights its basic commands, features, and comparisons with Subversion (SVN). It emphasizes Git's advantages, such as speed and smaller repository sizes, and outlines the process of collaborating on GitHub through branches and pull requests. Included are links to additional resources for understanding Git and GitHub.

9. GitHub summary
- https://github.com
- GitHub is a web-based on Git
- Largest host of source code in the world (April 2016: having more than 14
million users and more than 35 million repositories)
- Usually used to host open-source software projects

10. Features
Total features of Git
Integrated issue tracking
Collaborative code review
- Pull request
- ...

11. Workflow
- Create a topic branch from master
- Make some commits to improve the
project
- Push this branch to your GitHub
project
- Open a Pull Request on GitHub
- Discuss, and optionally continue
committing
- The project owner merges or closes
the Pull Request

12. Branch
- Make a branch
- Merge branches

13. Fork
- Simply the same project in your own namespace.
- Don’t have to worry about adding users as collaborators.
- Contribute their changes back to the original repository by creating Pull
Request.

14. Pull Request
- To notify the changes to owner of a project
- Owner project approve or close PR

15. Git vs SVN
- Git is much faster than Subversion
- Subversion allows you to check out just a subtree of a repository, Git requires
you clone the entire repository.
- Git’s repositories are much smaller than Subversions
- E.G: For the Mozilla project, 30x smaller
- Subversion's UI is more mature than Git's
- Walking through versions is simpler in SVN because it uses sequential
revision numbers (1,2,3,..); Git uses unpredictable SHA-1 hashes.
