Git - Fast Version Control System


Git is getting popular in Rails community these days, as there were being many changes in rails to support Git.
Git is a open sourse fast version controller system. It was originally designed by Linus Torvalds to handle large projects. It was inspired by Monotone & BitKeeper. It is a distributed version controlling system. It gives you ability to commit, traverse into history while being offline. Actually every working copy of Git is a full-fledged repository. It has no central server like SVN. One can share his working-copy/repository by using various protocols like ssh, http, ftp etc. One thing I like about Git over SVN is that the size of Git’s repository, which is smaller compared to SVN.

I gave an introductory presentation in VinSol. I am sharing it with you, this is not very explanatory as I focused on speech more. Please share your views.
