GIT: Version Control System

What is GIT?

GIT is a distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Why GIT?

GIT offers many advantages over other version control systems, including:

• Fast performance
• Distributed architecture
• Support for non-linear development
• Strong support for branching and merging
• Efficient handling of large projects

How GIT Works

GIT works by keeping track of changes to files in a repository. Each time a change is made, GIT creates a new version of the file, called a "commit". These commits are then organized into a tree-like structure, allowing developers to track the history of the project and easily revert to previous versions if needed.

GIT Commands

Here are some common GIT commands:

• git init: Initializes a new repository
• git add [file]: Adds a file to the staging area
• git commit -m "[message]": Creates a new commit with a message
• git push: Pushes changes to a remote repository
• git pull: Pulls changes from a remote repository
• git merge [branch]: Merges a branch into the current branch
