Control System: Git is a content tracker. It can be used to store any type of content, but it is mostly used to store the code.
-
Version Control System: The code that is stored in Git keeps on changing as more and more functionality is developed. Many developers can write code at the same time. Version Control System helps in handling this by maintaining a history of the changes that have happened till a given moment.
