git introduction

Distributed: Git version control system is a distributed system, which is used to save the history state of Engineering source code command-line tools.

Save point: Git's save point can track files in the source code, and can get the status of the whole project at a certain point in time, you can merge the source code that is submitted by many people at the save point, or you can fall back to a savepoint.

git offline operability: git can be offline for code submission, so it's called full distributed processing, and all of GIT's operations don't need to be online; This means that git is much faster than SVN, because tools such as SVN need to be online to operate, and if the network environment is bad, Submitting code can become very slow.

Git is based on snapshots: The old version control tool such as SVN is to save the submission point as a patch file, and Git commits to point the submission to the project snapshot at the time of submission, and the submission contains some metadata (author, date, GPG, etc.).

The branching and merging of git: The branching model is the most notable feature of Git, because it changes the developer's development model, and SVN and other version control tools place each branch in a different directory, and git can switch between different branches in the same directory.

Branching immediacy: Creating and switching branches is almost simultaneous, users can upload part of the branch, and another part of the branch can be hidden locally, without having to upload all the branches to GitHub.

Branching flexibility: Users can create, merge, delete branches at any time, many people implement different functions, you can create multiple branches for development, and then branch merge, which makes development fast, simple and secure.
