Version control systems enable developers to track changes made to code, keep an accurate record of how their software project has developed over time, and collaborate well with one another in completing the project. The version control system allows multiple developers to work on the same code base and provides them with a means of keeping an accurate and organized record of the updates and revisions that have been made to the code.
The topics in this section focus on version control workflows and collaborative development practices. In addition, we will provide you with information about the different types of collaborative development tools available, including Git and GitHub, and how those tools assist teams in working together, creating a more efficient software development process, and enabling developers to create quality, reliable, well-structured, and easy-to-maintain software projects.
