What are Version Control Systems?

Version control systems help development teams track, manage, and organize changes to source code and other digital files over time. They allow multiple contributors to collaborate simultaneously while maintaining a complete history of revisions and updates. The software supports branching, merging, and rollback features to reduce errors and improve development workflows. Many version control systems integrate with CI/CD pipelines, project management tools, and code review platforms. By ensuring consistency, accountability, and collaboration, version control systems are essential for modern software development.
