Version Control Tools

Version Control Tools provide capabilities for recording, organizing, and managing changes to source code, configuration files, and other development assets over time. Also known as source control or revision control solutions, they maintain a history of modifications and support comparison, rollback, branching, and merging. Common features include repositories, change tracking, conflict resolution, access controls, tagging, and audit histories. These products help preserve previous versions, coordinate parallel changes, identify when and why modifications occurred, and restore content when problems arise. They can support centralized or distributed version control workflows and often integrate with code review, continuous integration, project management, and deployment processes to improve collaboration, traceability, and release management.
