1.

What is the primary difference between centralized and distributed version control systems?

In centralized systems, there's a single, centralized instance of the repository containing the full history of the project. In distributed systems, each team member would typically have one, fully functional local copy of the entire repository, potentially including its full version history.

Distributed systems require developers to check out files from a centralized instance of the repository before making modifications and committing changes.

Centralized systems require network connectivity to perform all activities, while distributed systems don't.
