Advantages of Git:

  • Distributed system: each developer has a full copy of the repository, ensuring autonomy and speed.
  • Fast operations: most operations are performed locally without server access.
  • Powerful branching and merging capabilities, facilitating parallel work.
  • Well-suited for open projects and teams of various sizes.
  • Large community and numerous tools.

Disadvantages of Git:

  • Steep learning curve for beginners due to a large number of commands and concepts.
  • Difficulties when working with large binary files (although there are extensions, such as Git LFS).
  • Sometimes complex conflict resolution during merging.
  • Requires discipline in working with branches and commits to maintain a clean history.
