free & open source, distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
Every Git clone is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. Branching and merging are fast and easy to do.
Using a code base in general is a great way to work with groups of people, meaning you can share common code and everyone can contribute and synchronize.
GIT is different in the sense that all people a complete base where as with CVS there is a cetral location where every can connect to in order to retrieve data.
Although CVS (Concurrent Versioning System) is one of the older and more established systems to develop large code projects with, DIG presents us with a way to have a complete history of the project locally.
