What is Git?

Hello guys. So today, we are going to talk about Git. So, what is Git?

Imagine this. Way before computers, if you were working on a project, you had to write on a piece of paper where each person reached.

If it is a campus assignment, everyone does their thing then we all meet then combine everything together.

Now comes computers. And a friend comes along called Git. He combines everything for you and keeps track of everything each of you does.

So, in technical terms, "Git is a distributed version control system used to track changes in source code during software development"(ChatGPT).

It:

  • Allows multiple developers to work on a project at the same time,
  • Helps manage code versions
  • And enables collaboration.

That's basically what Git is.

Happy Coding!
