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 lets 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
