The Git project has been started by the famous Linus Torvalds. If a VCS or Git is new to you, I recommend you have a look at this tutorial video: Git – Quick Start I have used different VCSs (CVS, SVN, Git), and while I still keep projects for historical reasons in CVS and SVN, I’m using Git for all my new stuff. If you never have used a version control system, you probably want to start using one. Not using a VCS for any medium or larger scale project especially with multiple developers collaborating sounds like suicide to me. In most cases, such a database is used by multiple users or developers, and with this, the system is able to 'merge' changes of different developers it keeps an audit track and backup of all the changes. It 'versions' items or files in a kind of database.

It keeps a history and I can go back in time to retrieve an earlier state or compare different states. In a nutshell, a VCS is a database or a system which allows me to store and retrieve files.
