Git vs SVN
- Apache Subversion (SVN) is a widely used centralized version control system, though its popularity has declined. Despite this, millions of projects still use it, maintained by an open-source community. SVN stores data on a central server but keeps the entire history locally, limiting you to actions like commits, diffs, logs, and merge, file annotations, etc.
- Git is a popular distributed version control system, allowing you to clone a repository and obtain a full copy of the project's entire history, including all commits.
