Lesson 3

This document provides an overview of Git and GitHub. It defines Git as a popular version control system created by Linus Torvalds in 2005. Git allows for tracking code changes, change history, and coding collaborations. Version control systems record changes to files over time, creating new versions. Centralized systems have a single server, while distributed systems like Git allow local mirroring of repositories. The document outlines installing Git clients and servers, and describes the three stages of Git's architecture: the working area, stage area, and local repository. Upcoming topics will cover Git commands, branches, merging, and using Git with GitHub.

Introduction of Git
Git is a popular version control system(VCS), It was created by Linus Torvalds
in 2005 and has been maintained by Junio Hamano

Git is used for

a. Tracking code changes


b. Tracking who made changes like history of the files
c. Coding Collaborations
VCS (Version Control System)
It is a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time, so that
we can recall specific versions later, i.e., for every source code changes in a
file a new version will be created.
Types of Version Control System
1. Centralized Version Control System (CVCS)
2. Distributed Version Control System (DVCS)
Centralized Version Control System
Developers can collaborate and do the changes

Eg: CVS, SubVersion,Perforce


Distributed Version Control System
DVCS are Git, Mercurial,Darcs, Bazaar,...etc

Developers don't check out the latest snapshot of the files rather they fully mirror
the repository including its full history.

If the main server dies, then the local system will maintain a copy of the main
repository which has full backup of data.

If the remote repository is down, then the developer can make changes in the
local repository and when the main repository is up the code can be pushed to
remote repository from local repository.
Git Software Installation
There are 2 types of Git softwares

a. Git Server
b. Git Client
Git Server
It is a repository

It is the largest host of source code in the world

It is used to store/maintain the source code of the project

Some of the git server tools are : Github, Gitlab,BitBucket,Gitblit,....


How to install Git Client software?
It is an open source software

It is in the form of .exe file

Download git.exe file from https://git-scm.com/download/win

Run the git.exe file then we will get below 3 softwares

- git bash
- git GUI
- git cmd
Git Architecture
There are 3 stages involved :

1. Working area
2. Stage area
3. Local repository
