GIT is a distributed version control system to keep track of changes in any set of files between different people. In GIT, every developer's repository also contains the full history of all the changes.
The object format of GIT's files uses a combination of delta encoding for storing content differences, version metadata, compression and directory contents, explicitly. GIT has a significant performance benefit and it is secure with a SHA1 secure hashing algorithm.
