Git, a distributed version control system that supports collaboration.

Git Vs Gitlab
Git is a tool which can be used to control different operations by the team members on the folders
and files. It can be used for all actions and commands to be performed to track changes and
supporting non leniar development, allowing multiple members to modify, add,delete,create files
and folders.
It is a software to be installed by downloading from https://git-scm.com/.

Setting up Git

After you are satisfied with your Git version, you should configure Git so that the generated commit
messages you make will contain your correct information and support you as you build your
software project.
Configuration can be achieved by using the git config command. Specifically, we need to provide our
name and email address because Git embeds this information into each commit we do. We can go
ahead and add this information by typing:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"

git config --global user.email "youremail@domain.com"

git config –list
