What is Git?
Git is an open source version control system designed to handle very large projects. Git is especially popular in the open source community, serving as the version control system of choice for major projects like the WINE, X.org, and the crown jewel of open source, the Linux Kernel.
Git is fast, efficient, and designed with real-world usability in mind. Some of Git's features include
- Distributed development
Git gives each developer a local copy of the entire development history, and changes are copied from one such repository to another. These changes are imported as additional development branches, and can be merged in the same way as a locally developed branch. Repositories are easily accessed via the efficient Git protocol.
- Strong support for non-linear development
Git supports rapid and convenient branching and merging, and includes powerful tools for visualizing and navigating a non-linear development history
- Efficient handling of large projects
Git is very fast and scales well when working with large projects.
- Cryptographic authentication of history
The name of a particular revision depends on the complete development history. Once published, it's not possible to change the old versions with it being noticed.
- Toolkit design
Git is a collection of may small tools written in C and convenient wrapper scripts, making it convenient for human usage and easily scriptable.
