About

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Git is easy to learn and has a tiny footprint with lightning fast performance. It outclasses SCM tools like Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase with features like cheap local branching, convenient staging areas, and multiple workflows. You can query/set/replace/unset options with this command. The name is actually the section and the key separated by a dot, and the value will be escaped.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • * One simple executable file contains all functionality. * Highly consistent and easy to learn command set. * Highly cross platform -- has been even compiled to run in a Raspberry Pi. * Runs even in very simple hosting, requiring only CGI support to run properly. * Easy to set one-way mirroring to Git * Supports Markdown, as well as Pikchr for graphics that can be represented as easily versionable text. * "Mini-Github" functionality out of the box.

Cons

  • * Some of its design decision (e. g. no rebase by design) scares Git users.
