\begin{frame}[c]{Git compared to other VCS}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item Only widely used alternative is \texttt{SVN}.
    \item Outdated and not maintained anymore e.\,g. \texttt{CVS} (last release 13 years ago)
    \item Mercurial (\texttt{hg}) rarely used alternative (\texttt{Python} just moved from \texttt{hg} to Git(Hub))
  \end{itemize}

      \textbf{\Large Git}
      \begin{itemize}
        \item Faster
        \item Full history available offline
        \item Cheap branching
        \item Much better tooling (GitHub/GitLab)
        \item Branch/Fork → Pull Request Workflow (Outside Contribution, Code Review)

    \begin{column}{0.475\textwidth}
      \begin{itemize}
        \item Slower
        \item Accessing the history needs server connections
        \item Branching/Merging is expensive and not well supported
