## Summary

- *Git* is a free and open source distributed version control system
- *Version control* means that Git tracks how the files changes over time
- *Distributed* means that you can have your own copy of the Git repository on your local computer, which is connected to a shared repository
- A *repository* is a container for the project's code and history which includes all files and folders of the projects
- A *remote repository* is a shared repository hosted on a server or a centralised platform, such as GitHub or GitLab. It's a shared, centralised location where you can collaborate and synchronise work with your collaborators.
- A *local repository* is a local copy of the remote repository on e.g., your own computer. This is where you do your individual work and manage your project’s history on your local machine.
