Advantages of git over Subversion (SVN): A Brief Summary

| Monday, February 28, 2011
I've been using SVN for years. And git is continuously popping out in front of me. I thought that I need to learn more about it. After reading an article over here (http://bit.ly/why-you-should-switch-from-svn-to-git) I wanted it to be summarized to make it understandable "briefly" in a short time!

Please do not forget that these are only the advantages. I willfully didn't tell about the disadvantages.

Major Advantages:

  • Backup: Files are stored on each committer's own storage. Along with all of the details like commit logs etc.
  • Work Offline: Use your own computer as a git repository then if you want, you can synchronize it with other developers easily.
  • Small: 20x smaller than SVN repositories. For details click here.
  • Fast: You can get an entire git repository at the same time of a SVN checkout from a SVN repository. For details click here.
  • Flexible: You can implement whatever workflow you want even an SVN workflow. For details you know you should click here.
Other Advantages:
  • Synchronize: You can synchronize (push/pull) changes in every direction. Even you can use it as a deployment mechanism via a 'push' command as can be seen in Heroku deployments.
