ABC of Git Commands – Version Control System
January 2, 2021by Jeeten Parmar
Git is a free, mature, and actively maintained open-source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
Version control systems, also known as source control are software tools that help in recording changes made in files to track the modifications done by software teams that manage changes to source code over time.
