What is Source Control?

Source Control is a tool that enables a developer to look back at what date the program code was written by marking what was changed/added.

Why do we use source control when doing software development?

Normally, you can save the changes prepared either with a text file or an Excel file. However, as the number of line numbers of the source code has been modified, it becomes difficult to check again as the changes increase. For easy source code management, you should use source control tools.

Based on the Main Codebase (source files), developers can simultaneously write the program code in their own private location until they get the correct solution, and then reassemble it in the Main Codebase.

Among team members, you can find out which source code that includes how many line numbers have been fixed by visiting the Main Codebase.

When the sources of all team members are collected in the main codebase, the latest codebase can be obtained and the testing process can be continued.

You can also do Version Control again. In addition to the source files that are being developed, the source code of the first release can be stored separately. So Source Control Tools are also called Version Control Tools.

Source Control/Version Control Software includes Git, CVS, SVN, Mercurial, and TFS. Git is currently used by many development teams.

Mainly to retrieve all information related to Source Code Changes.
