Slide1:	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Overview and Installation of Git.
Slide 2: Learning Objectives	In this tutorial, we will learn about Version Control System Git and Installation of Git on Ubuntu Linux and Windows operating systems.
Slide 3: System requirement	For this tutorial, you will need a working Internet connection. You should also have either Ubuntu Linux or Windows Operating System.
Slide 4: Pre-requisites	To follow this tutorial you should be familiar with either of the mentioned operating systems
Slide 5:	First let us learn what is VCS i.e Version Control System. Version Control System is like a backup system. It manages the changes in documents, computer programs and web sites. It provides a historical record of what you have done over time. VCS is also known as revision control, source control and Source Code Management (SCM ). Some examples of VCS are RCS, Subversion and Bazaar.
	Next let us start with Git.
Slide 6:	Git is a distributed version control software. It is a free and open source software. It keeps track of changes made to a file or set of files. It allows developers to work collaboratively. It manages and stores versions of projects. It helps in tracking the project progress history.
Slide 7:	The salient features of Git are as follows: We can go back and recover previous versions of our work. We can see the complete history of all the changes. Conflicts can be easily resolved using the suggestions given by Git. If there is loss of data, it can be restored from any of the client repositories.
Slide 8:	Git can be used by Programmers, Web developers, Project managers, writers and many others. Anyone working with text files, sheets, design files, drawings, etc., to track versions. People who work collaboratively on an activity or project.
Slide 9:	Now lets see how Git works. Git actually stores a snapshot of entire project. Snapshot is similar to taking a picture of all the files at that moment. If some files have no changes, Git doesn’t store them again. It links them to the previous version. In the event of failure, the data is restored from the snapshot.
