Understanding Version

Control
Version control is a system that records changes to a file or set of files
over time so that you can recall specific versions later. It allows you to
revert files back to a previous state, revert an entire project back to a
previous state, compare changes over time, and more.

Introduction to Git
1 Local Version Control Systems
Initially, version control involved the use of local version control systems that
stored different versions of a file on a local disk.

2 Centralized Version Control Systems


These systems were introduced to address the limitations of local version
control and provided a single, centralized server to store all versions of a file.

3 Distributed Version Control Systems


Git is a distributed version control system, which allows for a more
streamlined and flexible approach to version control.
Key Concepts of Git

1 Commits 2 Branching
Git records every change in a repository as Branches in Git allow for the separate
a commit, providing a detailed history of development of features without affecting
the project's development. the main codebase.

3 Merging 4 Repositories
Git facilitates the merging of branches, Each project in Git has its repository,
integrating changes into the main which contains the project's entire history
codebase while maintaining a clean and can be cloned for collaboration.
