Git: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 10:06, 22 July 2011

Git is a free and open source version control system. Git is a more sophisticated replacement for CVS. You can find the official Git Moodle repository at http://git.moodle.org/ or mirror at https://github.com/moodle/moodle. The particular advantage of Git is its distributed model, making it ideal for managing local customisations to Moodle. It is also suitable for development of contrib plugins for Moodle.
