Introduction to Version Control System

Introduction Version Control System

This is the process of tracking and managing changes to software code or a set of files over time.A version control software tracks every modification to a codebase in a special kind of database.

Developers can review project history to find out:

• Which changes were made
• Who made the changes
• Why were the changes made
• When were the changes made

If a mistake is made, you can compare and restore earlier versions of the code to fix the mistake while minimizing disruption to other contributors.
