Helps in continuous improvement and releases new features in small batches

This is OPPOSITE to WATERFALL model.

Commit - making changes to the existing project .
Main Branch :
New branch - with this feature, developers can work on new features or bug fixes while the
main branch remains unimpacted.
Merge : when a side branch or Sub-branch is merged with the main branch.

A version control system like GIT stores information of all the history of change in project.
It keeps tracks of when and what changes have occurred in the lifetime of the program or
code.

DVCS or Distributed Version Control System

It has the main repository which stores the source code.
From this repository the entire copy of the code is copied to the users working on the
project. This local copy is called Local Repository.
From this local repository, users can work offline.
Ang change/commit from the local copy is directed to the main reposity whenever the
users are online.

GIT is -
- a DVCS
- Open Source Software
- Works for small or very large projects.

GIT has two interfaces

- command line
- source tree
