So you have a pile of files you want to put under version control. These days there are many systems to choose from: CVS, Subversion, Git, Perforce and Mercurial to name but a few. What is this Git thing that everybody is talking about? And what is distributed version control anyway? Let me take you on a small tour through Git, and then you can decide if that will be your next tool of choice. I'll be talking about getting your first commits in, using branches and I will show you how to work with a Git server.
