Git vs Other VCS

What is Git vs Other VCS?
Git is a distributed version control system, meaning every developer has a full copy of the project history on their own machine, not just the latest snapshot. Older systems like Subversion (SVN) or CVS are centralized, so they depend on a single server for most operations and require a network connection to commit changes. Git allows commits, branching, and history browsing to happen offline, and syncing with a remote server happens only when pushing or pulling.
