Git is a free and open source distributed version control system, designed to handle everything from small to large projects with speed and efficiency. http://git-scm.com/ 

!= 

Considering the vision of Linus Torvalds “version control the way it really should be” “cvs or based on their primitive?” 

MAY NOT BE A GOOD STARTING POINT ... 
 Blaspheme ON OUR CURRENT VERSION CONTROL SYSTEMS ... BUT ... HUMMM ... NEED TO GO AHEAD! 

What are the advantages? Small and Fast branching and merging Distributed Data Assurance Staging Area Free Open Source http://git-scm.com/ 

#1 Git allows and encourages the creation of several local branchs, 
 that can be totally independent of each other. BRANCHING AND MERGING prod YES using trunk? YES NO TAG ? NO create tag trunk restore trunk tag create branch trunk warn? dev homol ok? reintegrate trunk branch create tag trunk local 

BRANCHING AND MERGING ! Frictionless Context Switching Create a branch to try out an idea, commit a few times, switch back to where you branched from, apply a patch, switch back to where you are experimenting, and merge it in! ! Role-Based Codelines Have a branch that always contains only what goes to production, another that you merge work into for testing, and several smaller ones for day to day work. ! Feature Based Workflow Create new branches for each new feature you're working on so you can seamlessly switch back and forth between them, then delete each branch when that feature gets merged into your main line. ! Disposable Experimentation Create a branch to experiment in, realize it's not going to work, and just delete it - abandoning the work—with nobody else ever seeing it. http://git-scm.com/ 

#2 Git is fast. With Git, nearly all operations are performed locally, giving you a huge advantage SMALL AND FAST

#3 Instead of doing a "check-out" of the current situation of the source code, you make a "clone" of the entire repository. DISTRIBUTED 

DISTRIBUTED Any Workflow Because of Git's distributed nature and superb branching system, an almost endless number of workflows can be implemented with relative ease. Multiple Backups Even if you are using a centralized workflow, each user will have a full backup of the primary server. Each of these copies may overwrite the primary server in the event of an accident or corruption. In effect, there is no single point of failure with Git unless there is only a single copy of the repository. http://git-scm.com/ 

Subversion-Style Workflow A centralized workflow is very common, especially from people transitioning from a centralized system http://git-scm.com/ DISTRIBUTED 

Workflow distributed and decentralized For teams that overlap a formal teams, the model allows for a distributed collaborative organization simple and organized. http://git-scm.com/ origin origin PROJETO OPEN SOURCE 1 origin origin PROJETO OPEN SOURCE 2 DISTRIBUTED 

{ http://git-scm.com/ fetch merge + origin/master master origin localhost PULL The pull command performs two operations, holds first fetches bringing all the files and then performs a merge with your local repository. DISTRIBUTED 

http://git-scm.com/ push origin localhost PUSH The push command performs the sending of the information packet to your local repository couple the desired server. Even if the repository does not exist on the server in question. push notebook $git push origin projeto1 $git push notebook projeto1 DISTRIBUTED 

#4 It is impossible to get anything inside the Git beyond the exact bits you put DATA ASSURANCE 

DATA ASSURANCE Cryptographic integrity The data model that Git uses ensures the cryptographic integrity of every bit of your project. Every file and commit is checksummed and retrieved by its checksum when checked back out. It's impossible to get anything out of Git other than the exact bits you put in. http://git-scm.com/ 

#5 Commits can be formatted and reviewed before completing the submission. STAGING AREA 

STAGING AREA Staging Area Git has something called a "staging area" or "index", which serves as the intermediate area where the commits can be formatted and reviewed before completing the submission. Thus it is possible to quickly change some of your files and checks in them without committing all other modified your working directory, or having to list them for confirmation. http://git-scm.com/ working directory staging area repository git add git commit git commit -a working directory staging area repository
