Git is a DVCS, a “Distributed Version Control System”. Every user is 
running their own copy of the code, operating on their own copy of the 
source repo and commit history.

You’re thinking of older-style VCSes like Subversion, which did indeed 
have a client/server architecture. It was various problems with those that 
led to the creation of Git.
