Introducing VCS and Git

VCS comes under the category of software development, which helps a software team manage changes to source code over time. A VCS keeps track of each and every modification to the code in a database. If a mistake is made, the developer can compare earlier versions of the code and fix the mistake while minimizing disturbance to the rest of the team members.

The most widely used VCS in the world is Git. It's a mature and actively maintained open source project developed by Linus Torvalds in 2005.
