Why do we need version control systems for IT companies?
Version control systems (VCS) are software tools that help developers manage changes to their source code over time. VCS tracks modifications made to files, including who made the changes and when allowing developers to quickly revert to a previous version or compare changes between different versions. This technology has revolutionized software development, making it easier for developers to collaborate on projects, maintain code quality, and improve productivity.
Git is the most popular distributed VCS.
- Managing and Protecting the Source Code
- Keeping Track of All the Modifications Made to the Code
- Comparing Earlier Versions of the Code
- Supports the Developers’ Workflow and Not any Rigid Way of Working
Example: There are 3 workstations or three different developers at three other locations, and there's one repository acting as a server. The workstations are using that repository either for the process of committing or updating the tasks.
