How does Tour De Fracne works? how do they determin who wins. seem like someone else win each stage?

So how does the yellow jersey works, how can you get a hold of it and who is to say who can keep the yellow jersey since I never see who holds the jersey wins a stage?

    The person with the lowest elapsed time holds the yellow jersey. One gains a time advantage by finishing in a group ahead of the main field, or through time bonuses alloted at the finish. Often, you will see the yellow jersey winning stages or finishing near the front on stages that are time trials or that have mountaintop finishes. Hope this clears things up.

    The rider with the least amount of accumalative time wears the yellow jersey. Technically, a rider can win the Tour without winning a single stage, as long as he has the fastest time.
