Followed by the advent of distributed version control systems (DVCS), Git naturally enables the usage of a pull-based development model, in which developers can copy the project onto their own repository and then push their changes to the original repository, where the integrators will determine the validity of the pull request. Since its ...
Git is free and open-source software shared under the GPL-2.0-only license. Git was originally created by Linus Torvalds for version control during the development of the Linux kernel. [14] The trademark "Git" is registered by the Software Freedom Conservancy, marking its official recognition and continued evolution in the open-source community.
David A. Wheeler notes [9] four possible outcomes of a fork, with examples: The death of the fork. This is by far the most common case. It is easy to declare a fork, but considerable effort to continue independent development and support. A re-merging of the fork (e.g., egcs becoming "blessed" as the new version of GNU Compiler Collection.)
The process of initializing a git repository. Git is one of the most popularly used distributed version control software. In software development, distributed version control (also known as distributed revision control) is a form of version control in which the complete codebase, including its full history, is mirrored on every developer's computer.

In the Git version control system a changeset is called a commit, [1] not to be confused with the commit operation that is used to commit a changeset (or in Git's case technically a snapshot [1]) to a repository. [6]
To commit a change in git on the command line, assuming git is installed, the following command is run: [1] git commit -m 'commit message' This is also assuming that the files within the current directory have been staged as such: [2] git add . The above command adds all of the files in the working directory to be staged for the git commit.
A delta can be defined in 2 ways, symmetric delta and directed delta.A symmetric delta can be expressed as (,) = (),where and represent two versions.. A directed delta, also called a change, is a sequence of (elementary) change operations which, when applied to one version , yields another version (note the correspondence to transaction logs in databases).
Gitea is an open-source Git service created by Lunny Xiao, who was also a founder of its predecessor, the self-hosted Git service Gogs. Xiao invited a group of users and contributors from the Gogs community to join in the development of Gitea.
