| 00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Overview and Installation of Git. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn about:
Version Control System Git and Installation of Git on Ubuntu Linux and Windows operating systems. |
| 00:17 | For this tutorial, you will need a working Internet connection. |
| 00:22 | You should also have either Ubuntu Linux or Windows operating system. |
| 00:28 | To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with either of the mentioned operating systems. |
| 00:36 | First, let us learn what is VCS i.e Version Control System. |
| 00:39 | Version Control System is like a backup system. |
| 00:44 | It manages the changes in documents, computer programs and web sites. |
| 00:51 | It provides a historical record of what you have done over time. |
| 00:55 | VCS is also known as revision control, source control and Source Code Management (SCM). |
| 01:03 | Some examples of VCS are RCS, Subversion and Bazaar. |
| 01:11 | Next, let us start with Git. |
| 01:13 | Git is a distributed version control software. |
| 01:16 | It is a free and open source software. |
| 01:19 | It keeps track of changes made to a file or set of files. |
| 01:24 | It allows developers to work collaboratively. |
| 01:28 | It manages and stores versions of projects. |
| 01:32 | It helps in tracking the project progress history. |
| 01:37 | The salient features of Git are as follows: |
| 01:42 | We can go back and recover previous versions of our work. |
| 01:47 | We can see the complete history of all the changes. |
| 01:52 | Conflicts can be easily resolved using the suggestions given by Git. |
| 01:58 | If there is loss of data, it can be restored from any of the client repositories. |
| 02:05 | Git can be used by: * programmers, web developers, project managers, writers and many others. |
| 02:14 | Anyone working with text files, sheets, design files, drawings etc. to track versions. |
| 02:22 | People who work collaboratively on an activity or project. |
| 02:28 | Now, let's see how Git works. |
| 02:31 | Git actually stores a snapshot of entire project. |
| 02:36 | Snapshot is similar to taking a picture of all the files at that moment. |
| 02:42 | If some files have no changes, Git doesn’t store them again. |
| 02:47 | It links them to the previous version. |
| 02:50 | In the event of failure, the data is restored from the snapshot. |
| 02:56 | Let me show glimpses of some features covered in this series- |
| 03:01 | Basic commands of Git |
| 03:04 | The git checkout command |
| 03:06 | Inspection and comparison of Git and |
| 03:09 | Tagging in Git. |
| 03:11 | In this series, we will also learn about:
Branching in Git Deleting and Merging branches and Stashing and Cleaning. |
| 03:22 | Git can be installed on Ubuntu Linux using Ubuntu Software Center. |
| 03:27 | For more details on Ubuntu Software Center, refer to the "Linux" tutorials on this website. |
| 03:35 | I have already completed the installation of Git on my system. Now, let us verify this. |
| 03:42 | Go to the terminal and type: git space hyphen hyphen version and press Enter. |
| 03:50 | We can see the version number of Git displayed. |
| 03:53 | This means that Git is installed successfully. |
| 03:57 | Next, let us learn to install Git on Windows OS. |
| 04:01 | Open your web browser and go to www.git-scm.com. |
| 04:09 | Click on the Downloads link, on the left side. |
| 04:13 | Click on Windows icon to download Git for Windows. |
| 04:17 | The Save As dialog-box appears. Click on Save File button. |
| 04:22 | The installer file will be downloaded in the default Downloads folder. |
| 04:26 | Double-click on the "exe" file to install Git. |
| 04:30 | In the dialog-box that appears, click on Run and then on Yes. |
| 04:35 | Now, click on Next. In the "General Public License" page, click on Next. |
| 04:41 | By default, Git is installed in Program Files. Click on Next. |
| 04:46 | We can select the components to install. |
| 04:49 | Click on the Additional icons checkbox. |
| 04:52 | Then click on Next. Again click on Next. |
| 04:57 | Here, you can select the option to run the Git commands. |
| 05:00 | I will select Use Git Bash only and click on Next. |
| 05:04 | I keep this option as default and click on Next. |
| 05:09 | Git is installing. This may take few minutes depending on your internet speed. |
| 05:15 | Click on Finish button to complete the installation. |
| 05:19 | Now, the Git Release Notes opens up automatically. Let me close it. |
| 05:24 | You will see a short-cut icon Git Bash, created on the Desktop. Double-click on it to open. |
| 05:32 | Alternately, you can click on 'Start' menu >> All programs >> Git and then click on Git Bash. |
| 05:41 | Now Git Bash will open. |
| 05:44 | It shows the installed version number of Git. |
| 05:48 | So, we know that Git is installed successfully. |
| 05:51 | With this, we come to the end of this tutorial. |
| 05:55 | Let us summarize.
