Introduction to Version Control Version control is a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later. It allows multiple contributors to work on a project simultaneously without interfering with each other's changes. Version control systems (VCS) help in tracking and managing changes, improving collaboration, and providing a history of modifications. There are two main types of version control: Definition of Version Control
• Version control is a system that records
changes to a file or set of files over time. •Enables tracking, management, and recall of specific versions. Importance of Version Control •Facilitates collaboration among developers. •Provides a history of changes and allows for rollbacks. •Aids in managing and resolving conflicts. •Enhances code quality and project organization. Types of Version Control •Centralized Version Control System (CVCS) • Example: Subversion (SVN) •Distributed Version Control System (DVCS) • Examples: Git, Mercurial Latest Tools for Version Control •Git •Mercurial •Subversion (SVN) •Perforce (Helix Core) •Plastic SCM •AWS CodeCommit •GitHub Git Overview •Distributed version control system. •Key features: branching, merging, and performance. •Widely adopted in open-source and commercial projects.
