Download Introduction to Git for Drupal

A short history of version control
SCCS (1972) and RCS (1982)
RCS – ubiquitous, simple, but locking & scale issues
RCS + scripting = CVS (1990)
Solves locking and scale issues but adds complexity
Rational ClearCase – ‘multi-site’ (1990)
Distributed revision control systems
• BitKeeper - Used by Linus Torvalds for Linux (1999)
• Git – Workflow from BitKeeper – “Opposite of CVS” (2005)
• Monotone, Darcs, Mercurial, Bazaar
