Hello and welcome to this lecture in this lecture or are we giving you a brief description of what it
is.
What is it.
It is a free and open source version control system.
What is a version control system version control is a system that records changes to a farm or is set
or farms.
It does this over time so that you can recall or revert to specific versions later if you need to.
It is also distributed.
What that means is that it close the version of the source code or the files across several machines
or servers so if one dies you can always pick up the clone version from another server.
So it is distributed.
That's what that means.
It is designed to handle both small and large projects with speed and efficiency.
It is merely used by programmers developers mainly to keep track of quote changes.
Although it can be used by other people who are also not programmers anyone actually can use it but
it is primarily use by programmers and developers to keep track of.
Could change if it runs on the command line of a computer from the windows.
It will run on the command line or if you are on a Mac then you can run it by the terminal to work with
it.
You have to create what is called a repository here posset free basically CanAm like a projet file so
you need to create a repository.
It's also quote here report for short an inside repository where it tracks or the file changes you make.
It also keeps all your files in that repository.
It can be used alone or you can use it in collaboration with a team.
If you have a team of people working on the same project you can use it and you can use it independently
while working out a project and then you can merge or your file changes later.
It also lets you keep a permanent record of who made changes so whatever changes is made to a file or
group of file is kept.
The record is recorded permanently by the kids control system.
It can take a snapshot of the state of your files at time interval so you can set the time intervals
where it can take snapshots of the fart's So you decide when to take the snapshot.
You also decide what files you can take this snapshot off.
It also lets you view your snapshots gate is a completely free version control system.
Open Source meme is open for people to contribute.
That is developers to contribute to making it better.
Are back from it.
There are all the version control systems out there.
Their paid ones are we.
Microsoft has one called tfsa which is called Team Foundation Server.
That is what Microsoft uses has this version control.
There are order paid ones in the market but it is quite popular and he does go up and is free.
So this concludes the lecture on it.
Thanks for watching.
Bye for now.
