So the questions is Why Is Git So Important?

In this lesson, you will learn about Git and why it's so widely used?

What is Git?

So the Answer is Git is a distributed version control software. As a result, a complete copy of the entire codebase will be available on every contributor’s computer; we can also call this codebase a local repository.

Git tracks the local repository, maintains a record of all the changes that occur within it. It removes the hassle of keeping multiple versions of the project in separate directories and also makes sharing changes to the source code between collaborators seamless and quick.

The distributed nature of Git makes it unique and efficient. Since every contributor or collaborator has their own ‘clone’ of the source code in their local repository, it allows Git to track, add, or revert changes very quickly. Git uses the local database to keep a record of the changes to the project files.

Distributed version control allows everyone to clone the entire codebase in 'local repositories'.
