OVERVIEW
SVN and Git are both version control tool with some differences: SVN is a centralized version control tool as Git is distributed. More specifically, SVN acts like master-slave model. There will be a server running at somewhere in the world, and developer as a client has to checkout and commit the code from the server. For Git, there is no centralized server to manage the version. Instead, every developer runs Git tool on their device: every developer manage their changes on local environment (by Git) and only ‘commit’ their changes to remote repo when needed.
