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

Imagine a scenario without using Git.

There is a large project and 100 developers are working on the project.

• Developers used to submit their codes to the central server without having a copy of their own.


• Any changes made to the source code were not known to the other developers.


• There was no communication between any of the developers.

Now, let's analyse the scenario after using Git.

• Every developer has an entire copy of the code on their local system.


• Any change made to the source code can be tracked by others.


• There is regular communication between the developers.

Therefore, for large projects that involve thousands of developers, Git helps those developers to work collaboratively and efficiently in a structured manner. Learn More.
