Git is the most essential thing to learn as a programmer.

Let's understand it an easy way

Let's assume you work for a Gaming company .

And you are asked to build a new Gaming app .

You are not building this project alone but with a team of 4-5 developers.

Here arise a question ?

How will you work with the team and write the same code as them on the same code base without causing conflict ?

So that's where Git comes in .

What is Git ?

It is a distributed version control system .

Let's break this definition into 3 parts :-

1. Control system :- It means Git is used to store code .

2. Version Control System :-

As a team project, many developers are adding code . So, code in Git keeps changing.

Thus, VCS helps in tracking changes by maintaining a history of what changes have happened.

Git tracks changes by taking a Snapshot(commits) of changed files.

3. Distributed Version Control system :-

DVCS represents a collection of backups.

When a team member clones a repository, she's basically creating an offsite backup, so if something happens, such as a server crash, every member's local copy acts as a backup.

Benefits of Git :-

1. With git , You will never lose your data .
2. It allows you to experiment code without breaking your previous code.
3. It allows you to work offline.
4. It improve your code-quality and productivity.

That's the end of the thread.
