Working with Git ( Level 2 )
kapil17
Git is a distributed version control system. Using Git, many developers can make changes to the same code base at the same time without running into accidents like overriding someone else’s changes. Git will update only difference to a file.
As a Drupal developer it is often easy to use Git for years without going much deeper than `git push` `git pull` and `git commit`.
By using Git purely on this superficial level you are missing out on a lot of what makes Git such a powerful tool.
