Version Control System (keep reading and this will make sense towards the end).

Let’s say you have a project you want to work on.

Now you have two primary motives:

• To write some code
• To take up the project as a team, meaning that more than one people are going to be responsible for writing the code.

So suppose you write a “Hello World!” program and then your friend/other developer decides that it should say “Hello, I am awesome” instead of the original “Hello World!”. Even for this little piece of code, you will have a copy on your PC and your friend will have one on his PC. Let’s say you change the code; now at this point your friend wouldn’t know the changes you have made and vice versa.

This is where the Git magic comes.

• Git lets you save your code online.
• Git will allow all the developers of a project to see what changes the other one has made.
• It allows you to discuss issues in your code with other developers.

And a lot more…

I think now you have a decent idea of what Git is.
