### **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.

### 3 . Can you explain the difference between Git and GitHub?

🔸 **Git** is a versional control system or centralized. **Git is a version control system that allows developers to track changes in their code.**

🔸 **GitHub** is a distributed version control system.**GitHub is a web-based hosting service for Git repositories**

### 5\. What is the difference between local & remote repositories? How to connect local to remote?

🔸 **Local Repository:** The local repository is a Git repository that is stored on your computer.

🔸 **Remote Repository**: **The remote repository is a Git repository that is stored on some remote computer.**

**How to connect local to remote?**
