It is written in C, Shell, Perl, TCL, and Python. Git was working on UNIX systems as well as a software in Windows systems too.

Front End – The front end is the side of the computer user or the client. It also carries the application used to authenticate the cloud from the back end. Not every front end is in this architecture. Back End – The back end is the “cloud” section of the system. This means storage, database, servers, etc. Generally, each application has its own back end.   How to choose a Cloud Provider? Choosing a cloud provider is not at all an easy task. Beginning from start-ups to a multi-million company, there could be different criteria to choose a cloud vendor. There is a lot of competition between these companies. Some of the most widely used vendors are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). There are certain criteria before choosing Cloud Providers.
