Version Control Systems
Best Version control systems (VCS) is also known as revision control or source control system that allows users to keep track and manage changes to a file system or software development projects and enable them to collaborate on those projects. VCS normally run as a stand-alone applications. The developers can work together on code and separate their tasks through branches. There can be several branches in a VCS as per the number of collaborators. Developers can combine the code changes when needed and the branches maintain individuality as the code changes remain in a specified branch. The developer can view the history of changes, go back to the previous versions and use or manage code in the expected way.
Other vendors of Version Control Systems include – SourceGear, GIT SYSTEM, VISIBLE Systems, THE APACHE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, GNU, Mercurial Open Source Project, Alienbrain, Elego Software, Codice Software, AWS, MICROSOFT, Fossil, ARX, Flyway, Glitch, Monotone, PostPDM, DEVFACTORY and Jitpack.
