- 7. Git Tutorial: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners Introduction to Git What is Git? Git is a distributed version control system that is used to track changes in code. Why use Git? Git provides several benefits over traditional version control systems, including: ● Distributed workflow: Git allows multiple people to work on the same codebase without needing a centralized server. ● Easy branching: Git makes it easy to create and manage multiple branches of code, allowing developers to experiment with new features without affecting the main codebase. ● Fast performance: Git is designed to be fast and efficient, even with large codebases. Git vs. other version control systems ● Subversion (SVN) ● Mercurial ● Perforce While each of these systems has its own strengths and weaknesses, Git is generally considered to be the most popular and versatile.
