Version Control
Version control is a system that tracks changes made to files or a set of files over time, enabling you to manage and recall different versions as needed. It is an essential tool for software development and collaborative projects, allowing multiple users to work on the same codebase without overwriting each others changes. With version control, you can review the history of changes, revert to previous versions if necessary, and understand the evolution of a project. It helps maintain consistency, provides backup for recovering from errors, and facilitates efficient collaboration by integrating updates from various contributors. Popular version control systems include Git, Subversion (SVN), and Mercurial.
