Version Control
Version control is a system that tracks changes to code or files over time, allowing developers to manage updates, collaborate efficiently, and revert to earlier versions if needed.
Version control is essential in software development for managing source code changes, especially when multiple people are working on the same project. It helps prevent code conflicts, enables rollback in case of errors, and improves collaboration by keeping a history of all changes.
There are two main types of version control systems: Centralised (e.g., Subversion) and Distributed (e.g., Git).
