Version Control
• A version control system allows users to keep track
of the changes in software development projects
and enable them to collaborate on those projects.
• Using it, the developers can work together on code
and separate their tasks through branches.
• The branches maintain individuality as the code
changes remain in a specified branch(s).
• Developers can combine the code changes when
required, view the history of changes, go back to
the previous version(s) and use/manage code in the
desired fashion.
• Best Version Control Systems
• Git
• GitHub
• GitLab
• SVN [tortoise]
