A Version Control System (VCS) allows you to revert files back to a previous state, revert the entire project back to a previous state, review changes made over time, see who last modified something that might be causing a problem, who introduced an issue and when, and more. Using a VCS also means that if you screw things up or lose files, you can generally recover easily. And sometimes you just want to know **“who wrote this crap”**, and having access to that information is worthwhile 😈.

## So What is Git?
## So What is

Git is a version-control system for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people. Git is a ***Distributed Version Control System***. So Git does not necessarily rely on a central server to store all the versions of a project’s files. Instead, every user “clones” a copy of a repository (a collection of files) and has the ***full*** history of the project on their own hard drive. This clone has *all* of the metadata of the original while the original itself is stored on a self-hosted server or a third-party hosting service like GitHub.
