Git is a version control system that was developed by Linus Torvalds in 2005. It allows tracking changes to files, checking in snapshots of changed files with each version, and collaborating with others on software projects. Git is free, open source, distributed so each computer has its own complete code repository, and faster than other systems. While it works best for code files, it lacks a graphical user interface.

“Checkins” are basically uploading the file that has been changed since last version.
Each time a snapshot of changed files are taken.

5. Why Git?
• Free and Open Source
• Can be used as a work dairy
• Safe deposit of code
• Keep track of files and changes
• Let others collaborate

6. Who uses Git?

7. Advantages
• Keep Track of Software Projects
• Independent of Network Access
• Doesn’t need a central server
• Faster compared to others
• Let multiple people work without conflict

8. Drawbacks
• Doesn’t work well with doc, ppt, excel files
• Doesn’t have an User Interface (where you
can click and do the job)
• Supports only Command Line Interface
