Description
Version Control System (VCS)
A Version Control System (VCS) is a software tool that helps track changes made to files and directories over time. It allows multiple people to collaborate on a project, keeping a history of changes, and providing mechanisms to manage different versions of files. VCS enables teams to work concurrently, facilitating efficient collaboration and providing features like branching, merging, and conflict resolution.
Git
Git is a widely used distributed version control system designed for speed, flexibility, and data integrity. It is free and open-source, offering powerful features that make it popular among individuals and large organizations. Git provides a decentralized approach, allowing users to have a local copy of the entire repository, including its history, branches, and tags.
