Introduction  Git - Distributed version control system  Initiated by Linus Torvalds  Strongly influenced by Linux kernel development and Andriod development

Version Control  History  Parallel Development 1. Multiple Independent efforts 2. Multiple people on one line of development  Implementation flavors: centralized or distributed

Centralized version control  History in one repository  Clients only get a single version per checkout  All commits go into the one repository  SVN, Perforce

Distributed Version Control  Each user has at least one copy of the repository  Each user repository holds the full history  Git

Visualization  Cannot work with low network speed  Single point of failure

Git Flow

Git Branching

Git Growth

Popular projects

Disadvantages  Overwhelming to learn  Documentation mostly through man pages
