Comparisons

• TFS
  • Snapshot vs. Entire repository
  • Centralized vs. Decentralized
• Subversion
  • diffs vs files

Concepts

• repository, branches, commits

• remote vs. local

• Hashes

• Step 1 : You modify a file from the working directory.

• Step 2 : You add these files to the staging area.

• Step 3 : You perform commit operation that moves the files from the staging area. After push operation, it stores the changes permanently to the Git repository.
