Introduction to Setting Up a Git Server with Sourcetree

Git is a version control system designed to record and track the history of changes made to program source code and other files, especially when multiple people are working together.

The system manages data by storing it in locations called "repositories." There are two types of repositories:

Think of the local repository as each developer's individual workspace, and the remote repository as a shared space where all those works are gathered and managed.

The specific workflow is as follows:
First, a developer edits their local repository and then "pushes" those changes to the remote repository to reflect the data. Files uploaded to the remote repository can be brought back into a local repository by "pulling" them.
This mechanism allows for data consistency without the need for complex manual management.
By the way, the famous "GitHub" is a web service based on Git that manages remote repositories.

Now that you have a general grasp of what Git is, let's take a closer look at Sourcetree.

Sourcetree is a free desktop application that allows you to perform Git operations.
Git is originally operated by executing commands. However, many people might feel hesitant about opening an unfamiliar black screen and typing in complex commands. With Sourcetree, you can perform Git operations through a graphical interface instead of entering such commands manually.
