Version Control Systems (VCS) are essential tools for tracking changes in your code, enabling collaboration, and maintaining project history. Learn about the types of VCS, their features, and why they're crucial for modern development.
For a detailed explanation, check out VCS.md.
Git is the most popular distributed VCS, created by Linus Torvalds. This guide covers everything from basic commands to advanced features like branching, merging, and best practices.
Key topics include:
- Core features (distributed architecture, commit history, branching)
- Workflow basics (clone, branch, stage, commit, push, pull)
- Advanced features (rebasing, cherry-picking, hooks)
- Best practices and common challenges
