What is Version Control?
What does 'Version Control' mean?
Version control, often known as source control, tracks and manages changes to digital asset management software code. Version control systems are software development teams' go-to solutions for tracking source code changes over time. As development environments have become more rapid, version control solutions assist software teams in operating more quickly and intelligently. In a particular database, version control keeps track of every change in the code. If a mistake is made, developers can go back in and compare prior versions to help repair the problem while causing the least disruption to the rest of the team.
