Git is an open source Version Control
software to handle from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
For documentation you can see the "https://git-scm.com/doc"

I used "SourceTree" as frontend
in my local machine. It's a GUI for GIT and also a free software which you can
download from "https://www.sourcetreeapp.com"

The key concepts of GIT are as follows:
Remote Master:
This is main repository where the code is
stored. It has the latest merged code.
Local Master:
A copy of all code from remote master is
stored in Local. Every developer has to set this in order to do the
development.
Clone:
=> Clone option is to get a local copy
from remote repository
=> Sample screenshot shown below
Pull changes from a remote repository (Git)
=> Click on the local branch you want to
