Distributed Version Control System of Git

Part 1
Git
Basic Description:
Git is a Distributed version control system. With tiny footprint and easy to learn features it
provides lightning fast performance. Version control system are the one that records changes in
the files or codes which are done overtime so that the specific version can be accessed whenever
required. Git version control system is free and open source that can handle nearly everything
from very tiny to large projects with efficiency and speed.
Git outclasses SVN, CVS RCS and darcs with features like, convenient staging areas, multiple
work-flows and local branching (Stansberry, 2008).
Git differs from SVN as SVN is centralized version control system whereas Git is a distributed
version control system. Also Git can use multiple repositories unlike SVN. As compared to
SVN, rcs and darcs Git is faster to commit. Most of the time Git is utilizing local repositories and
committing to central repositories is done very often. Also since everyone is having their own
repositories at Git thus it does not have a single point of failure. Also unlike other control
systems Git can work offline so that the work can goes on even if the connection is lost without
losing the features.
Mercurial is very much closer to Git. Git has complex commands whereas Mercurial is simple.
Git is very fast and efficient for the users that have a working experience in it whereas Mercurial
can be used even with less experience. The main pro of Git is that its branching model is much
effective as compared to Mercurial (Gehman, 2019).
Basic work-flow of Git repository
1. Firstly initialize Git repository using "git init" command
2. To add and store files into a folder type "add" command, both new and modified files can be
store in it.
3. To save the file do it with "commit" command. This would be the savepoint and the file can be
later saved for new version.
4. If an old version of file needs to be accessed use "Revert" command.

Git status command is used to check the status of the repository:
Committing the changes:
