git delta compression and its uses

When I executed git push, it displayed following output

Counting objects: 214, done.                               
Delta compression using up to 4 threads.                   
Compressing objects: 100% (213/213), done.                 
Writing objects:  26% (57/214), 27.44 MiB | 60.00 KiB/s

According to this it is clear that Git uses delta compression method. How does delta compression work ? can it be used for other applications as well ? If yes, please suggest such applications.

I didn't go into the details of the algorithms, but you can find useful information in the manual CH 10 and here.

Asking google, I also found this

I hope that helps!
