Please take time and download (or buy) an introductory-level book on Git and read a couple of blog posts on it, really. Git is so popular there's really no shortage of information on it, so there's no need to ask here for what's already available. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

Re: [git-users] whats the difference?
Eli, please also reply to the list so others can learn from the answers.. We prefer 'bottom posting', go answers can be seen in context with the question - see below - Original Message - From: eli amiri To: Philip Oakley Sent: Sunday, August 24, 2014 8:06 AM Subject: Re: [git-users] whats the difference? hi Thank you for sending me that model.. If I'm not wrong git now is written by c programming language?tell me is it right or wrong? and another question is does it support every project which is written by any programming languages?If not please tell me which languages does it support?

Philip (Extracting the questions from the top post) git now is written by c programming language? Git itself is written in C and in unix/linus/bash shell scripts and was originially 100% shell scripts when Linus Torvalds wrote the original. (What it is written in doesn't really matter to the user anyway ;-) It's just that C is a good common denominator that allows fast hand optimised code to be written for the core elements. which languages does it support? Git was focussed on being a distributed source control system for the Linux kernel software, but can handle all languages (code is just text), and is pretty good with moderate size binary files.

would you please tell me what advantages will I get if I change our source control system from sourcesafe to git?
