In this post we’ll learn about Git — What is git and its terminal command in 3 minutes. So let’s start with What is Git.

What is GIT?

In 2005, Linus Torwalds created a GIT.

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Git is easy to learn and has a tiny footprint with lightning fast performance. It outclasses SCM tools like Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase with features like cheap local branching, convenient staging areas, and multiple workflows.
