ABSTRACT

Git can be easily installed on most of the operating systems like Linux, Mac, Windows, etc. Mostly, Git comes preinstalled on the Linux and Mac Machines. Several methods can potentially be adopted to install Git on a Mac. Apple tends to maintain their own fork of Git, but it usually falls behind the mainstream Git by many versions. Git is a type of free and open-source distributed Version Control System (VCS). It is also the most widely used modern VCS in today’s world. Color coding is also utilized by Git to denote the current status of the files with regard to their repository. Black, i.e. no specific color means that the files have not undergone any changes. Blue means that the file has been modified locally. Green implies that a file has been locally added. Red implies the existence of an internal conflict. And gray indicates that the file has been ignored by Git.
