     Git is a version control system used for tracking changes in computer files. It is generally used for source code management in software development.

• Git is used to tracking changes in the source code


• The distributed version control tool is used for source code management


• It allows multiple developers to work together


• It supports non-linear development through its thousands of parallel branches

Git Workflow

The Git workflow is divided into three parts :

• Working directry-Modify flies in your working directry


• Staging area(Index)-Stage the files and add snapshots of them to your staging area


• Git directry(Repository)-Perform a commit that stores the snapshots permanantly to your Git directry.

Branch in Git is used to keep your changes until they are ready. You can do your work on a branch while the main
branch remains stable. After you are done with you work, you can merge it with th main office.



The above diagram shows there is a master branch. There are two seperate branches called
"small feature" and "large feature". Once you are finished working with the two seperate branches, you can
merge them and create a master branch.
