# Git
Git is probably the best version control system (VCS) there is.
It's easy and can be lightweight, but also has tons of possibilities for using graphical (including
web) user interfaces.
## Setup
Git consists of two parts: [a client](#client) and [a server](#server).
### Client
The Git client for [Linux-based operating systems](/wiki/linux.md) has a
separate article in this wiki which is called
[Git client](/wiki/linux/git_\(client\).md).
### Server
The server hosts the data that is needed for the versioning.
A distinction can be made between
[GUI-less servers](#server-without-graphical-interface) and
[servers with a web-GUI](#server-with-web-interface).
#### Server with web interface
Web interfaces for git are quite useful for easily showing code to other people.
Additionally it is easy to collaborate together.
- [Gitea](gitea.md) is an open-source and selfhosted and can be dockerized.
- [GitHub](https://github.com) is the go to system for many people. Not
selfhosted, owned by microsoft ([cli-tool](https://github.com/github/hub)).
#### Server without graphical interface
If you don't need a bloated web-interface a more basic approach is more than enough.
- [git-server-docker](./docker/jkarlos_-_git-server-docker.md) is a pretty
basic docker-container for git.
