GIT

Introduction

Git is a distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. It allows multiple developers to work on the same codebase, track changes over time, and collaborate without overwriting each other's work.

Key Features:

• Distributed: Every developer has a full copy of the entire repository history.

• Branching and Merging: Git makes it easy to create branches, experiment, and then merge changes back into the main codebase.

• Speed: Git performs most operations locally, which makes it very fast.

• Data Integrity: Git ensures the integrity of your data using checksums (SHA-1).

• Collaboration: By pushing to and pulling from shared repositories (like GitHub), teams can collaborate efficiently.
