1. What is Git and why is it important?

🔸 Git is the Version Control System(VCS) also known as a Global Information Tracker which allows your file to have version history.

🔸 Git is primarily used for code management which acts like a version control system and allows you to collaborate.

There are two main types of source code management

1. Centralized Version Control System (CVCS): This is not locally available, we always need to connect to the network to perform any activity.

2. Distributed Version Control System (DVSC): This is locally available so that everyone maintains the local repository.

2 . What is the difference Between the Main Branch and the Master Branch?

🔸 "Master branch" is the default branch in Git and "Main branch" is the default branch in GitHub. Main and master branches play the same role in Git.

🔸 The main branch the one where all changes eventually get merged back into is called master.
