Features

Total features of Git

Integrated issue tracking

Collaborative code review

- Pull request

- ...

...

Workflow- Create a topic branch from master

- Make some commits to improve the project

- Push this branch to your GitHub project

- Open a Pull Request on GitHub

- Discuss, and optionally continue committing

- The project owner merges or closes the Pull Request

Branch

- Make a branch

- Merge branches

Fork

- Simply the same project in your own namespace.

- Don’t have to worry about adding users as collaborators.

- Contribute their changes back to the original repository by creating Pull Request.

Pull Request

- To notify the changes to owner of a project

- Owner project approve or close PR

Git vs SVN

- Git is much faster than Subversion

- Subversion allows you to check out just a subtree of a repository, Git requires you clone the entire repository.

- Git’s repositories are much smaller than Subversions

- E.G: For the Mozilla project, 30x smaller

- Subversion's UI is more mature than Git's

- Walking through versions is simpler in SVN because it uses sequential revision numbers (1,2,3,..); Git uses unpredictable SHA-1 hashes.
