2 GIT Version Control System (VCS)

Version control systems (VCS) like Git allow developers to manage multiple versions of code and documents. Git is a distributed VCS created by Linus Torvalds that is designed for speed, handling large projects, and supporting thousands of parallel branches. It works by tracking changes to files in a local repository that can then be committed and pushed to remote repositories hosted on platforms like GitHub.

What is VCS ?
● Version control (or revision control, or source control) is all about
managing multiple versions of documents, programs, web sites, etc.
○ Almost all “real” projects use some kind of version control
○ Essential for team projects, but also very useful for individual projects
● Some well-known version control systems are CVS, Subversion,
Mercurial, and Git
○ CVS and Subversion use a “central” repository; users “check out” files, work on
them, and “check them in”
○ Mercurial and Git treat all repositories as equal
● Distributed systems like Mercurial and Git are newer and are
gradually replacing centralized systems like CVS and Subversion

Benefits of using VCS
● Backup: Undo or refer to old stuff
● Branch: Maintain old release while working on new
● Collaborate: Work in parallel with teammates
● Help you track/manage/distribute revisions
● Standard in modern development
● Enable sharing version control repos
● Internet/Web based

Popular VCS Platforms
● SourceForge
● Bitbucket

Inbrief , Why you should use version control ?
Individual Developer
For an Individual developer,
It gives a “time machine” like
feeling for going back to
earlier changes and maintains
change history (called
versions)
Team
For working with others or
Team : It simplifies concurrent
work and merging changes

● Created by Linus Torvalds in 2005, the creator of Linux
● Came out of Linux development community
● Designed to do version control on Linux kernel

Goals & Objective of Git:

● Speed
● Support for non-linear development
● (thousands of parallel branches)
● Fully distributed
● Able to handle large projects efficiently

Set the name and email for Git to use when you commit:

– git config --global user.name "Bugs Bunny"

– git config --global user.email [email protected]

– You can call git config –list to verify these are set.

• Set the editor that is used for writing commit messages:

– git config --global core.editor nano

Creating Repository or repo
To create a new local Git repo in your current directory:
● git init : This will create a .git directory in your current directory. Then you
can commit files in that directory into the repo.
● git add filename
● git commit –m "commit message"
To clone a remote repo to your current directory:
● – git clone url localDirectoryName : This will create the given local
directory, containing a working copy of the files from the repo, and a .git
directory (used to hold the staging area and your actual local repo)
