Why Git?

Git is an open-source distributed version control system developed by Linus Torvalds in 2005, the same Linus who gave us Linux Kernel.

With Distributed Version controlling, users can clone the code repository into their local machine as a local repository and continue working on their changes independently in contrast to the Centralized version control system.

wherein the user has to get connected to one central code repository for fetching and applying changes.

Features of Git: – Distributed version controlling – Cheap and easy to merge branching capabilities – Pull requests enable developers to share their codes and review other codes.

Faster release cycle which enables the changes to move through deployment pipelines quickly
