A version control system (VCS) manages and tracks changes to files over time, allowing multiple users to collaborate efficiently on projects. It records a history of changes, supports branching for parallel work, and helps merge or resolve conflicts. It ensures a consistent project state and enables reverting to previous versions when needed. + +We could summarize the key principles of Git as follows: + +- Tracking changes: Git records a history of changes (commits) to a project, making it easy to review, undo, or revert to previous versions. + +- Branching and merging: Developers can create branches to work on new features or fixes independently, then merge these changes back into the main project. + +- Collaboration: Multiple users can work concurrently, and Git helps resolve conflicts when changes overlap. + +- Distributed: Each user has a complete copy of the project history, enabling offline work and decentralization. + + + + +
