Git is a free and open source project Distributed Version Control System(DVCS) designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
Many commercial projects rely on Git as every developer’s code copy is also treated as a repository, which contains all changes done in the past. Below is the detailed description of DVCS :
Control System : Git is known for its features like a content tracker, and it stores content.
Version Control System : It helps developers to store code at the same time and Git modifies as and when more codes are added. The version control system helps in maintaining and keeping records of all the changes. Further, it offers features like branches and merges.
Distributed Version Control System : Git has a remote repository and a local repository, which are stored on servers and computers, respectively. This means that code is stored in both the central server and the developer’s computer. Hence it is termed a distributed version control system.
