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.
1 Commits 2 Branching
Git records every change in a repository as Branches in Git allow for the separate

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.
