Version Control System with Git

Version Control System

Most Version Control Systems (VCS) around, such as CVS and SVN depend on a centralized server where all the code is maintained and everyone go to share the code. One problem with that is that you need to be connected to the server to do any repository action, such as to see what has changed in a specific class since last update. This is no problem if you are connected to the network with a cable, but it is certainly a problem when you are out of WiFi range.

Git is different because everyone maintain the entire repository. so every repository operation can be performed off-line. There are other advantages in using git, but this one item is good enough for me.

There are Git command line installations for Windows, and Mac, and it is part of many Linux installations. In addition there is a plugin for Eclipse called EGit that makes it very simple to use.
