- 3. What is Git?? Git was created by Linus Torvalds in April 2005 to develop Linux Kernel. Replacement for bitkeeper to manage Linux Kernel changes. A command line version control program. Uses checksums to ensure Data Integrity. Distributed Version Control. Cross Platform(Including Windows). Free & open-source control system . What is Repository? Repo = Repository Usually needs to organize a single project. It contains folders, files, images, videos, spreadsheets and datasets --- anything your project needs.

- 6. Centralised Version Control System Uses a central server to store files. Every operation is performed directly on the repository. All the versions of the file are stored on the central VCS server. Incase the central server crashes, the entire data of the project will be lost. Hence Distributed VCS was Introduced. Centralised VCS server System A file System B file System A file System B file Fig : Centralised Version Control System
- 7. Distribution Version Control No need to connect central server. It can work without Internet connection. Developers can Work Independently and merge their work later. Every copy of a Git repository can serve either as a client or a server. It can track changes, not Versions.
