8. Code Repository
• Each user will have BitBucket account and
private repository.
• Repository is based on GIT DVCS.
• GIT training will be provided on 1st training.
• Jury team will monitor code commits.

9. VCS
• VCS – Version Control System
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control
• Centralized
– CVS, Subversion(SVN), MS Visual SourceSave,
Perforce, etc.
• Distributed
– Git
– Mercurial
– Bazaar

10. DVCS
• Peer-to-peer approach, as opposed to the client-
server approach of centralized systems. Each peer's
working copy of the codebase is a bona-
fide repository.
• Distributed revision control conducts synchronization
by exchanging patches (change-sets) from peer to
peer.
• No canonical, reference copy of the codebase exists
by default; only working copies.

11. DVCS
• Common operations (such as commits, viewing
history, and reverting changes) are fast, because
there is no need to communicate with a central
server.
• Communication is only necessary when pushing or
pulling changes to or from other peers.
• Each working copy effectively functions as a remote
backup of the codebase and of its change-history,
providing natural protection against data loss

12. Git
• Git (/ɡɪt/) is a distributed revision control system
with an emphasis on speed.
• Git was initially designed and developed by Linus
Torvalds for Linux kernel development.
• Every Git working directory is a full-
fledged repository with complete history and full
revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on
network access or a central server.
• Git is free software distributed under the terms
GPL version 2.
