Version control is a system for tracking and managing changes to files over time, primarily used in software development to coordinate work among multiple people. It allows users to revert to previous versions, compare changes, and merge different edits, ensuring a reliable project history and preventing conflicts. Modern version control systems are typically distributed, meaning each contributor has a full copy of the project's history on their local machine, enabling offline work and faster collaboration.

Key features and functions

History tracking: Records every change made to a file, creating a detailed history with timestamps and associated users.

Reverting and restoring: Allows you to restore a file or the entire project to a previous state if something goes wrong.

Branching and merging: Enables developers to create separate "branches" to work on new features without affecting the main project, and then later merge those changes back in.

Collaboration: Facilitates teamwork by providing a central or distributed system for multiple developers to work on the same files without overwriting each other's work.
