Git
About
Git is one of the best Version Control Systems (VCS) that we have currently, it allows us to manage and control our code in a very useful and easy way. It is completely distributed and it can be used into different could platforms like Github, Atlassian Bitbucket and Atlassian Stash (the enterprise version of Bitbucket).

¿What are the tasks of a Version Control System (VCS)?
- Manage versions of the code
- Compare a version with other – Merge branches
- Restore any code you need!
- Work with teams around the world (social- coding)
Git, why is it different?
- Distributed (good bye CVS/SVN)
- Inspired by BitKeeper©
- Great performance for huge projects(don’t believe, Linux Kernel is using it, right now)
- Nobody is more important than others (non- centralized repository)
