What is Git?

Git is a Distributed Version Control System; USED to logically store and backup the entire history of how your project source code has developed, keeping a track of every version change of the code.

Git facilitates very flexible and efficient branching and merging of your code with other collaborators.Being distributed git is EXTREMELY fast and more RELIABLE as every developer has his own local copy of the entire repository.

Git allows you to undo the mistakes in the source code at different tiers of its architecture namely- Working directory, Staging (Index) area, Local repository, and Remote repository.

Using Git we can always get an older version of our source code and work on it.Git tracks every bit of data as it checksums every file into unique hash codes referring to them via pointers.

To summarize Git is the most efficient and widely used VCS, used by major companies like Linux, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, LINKEDIN, Netflix, Android, Amazon, IBM, Apple IOS to name a few…
