What Is Git?

Introduction To Git :-

1. Git  is an open source distributed version control system. Git is created by linus torvalds in 2005.
2. Git can be used to store content, in that most of the content is related software / application codes.
3. Version control system helps in handling and maintaining a history of what changes have happened.
4. Git can provide to create repository, branches etc. Git has a remote repository which i store in a server as welll as on developers local system.This means that all developers can access the code.

Why We Need Version Controlling :-

In big projects or real life project have multiple developers working in parallel.So git can maintain and take care about no code conflicts between developers.
Some times in new version of application client face some problems that time git can provide revert back option as well. That's why we need version controlling.

Goals Of Git  :-

1. Speed

2. Support for non-linear  development (thousands of parallel branches)
