  • 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.
