Management software of versions

Management software of versions of files

A management software of versions acts on a tree structure of files in order to preserve all the versions of the files, as well as the differences between the files.

This system allows for example mutualiser a development. A group of developers around the same development will make use of the tool to store any evolution of the source code. The system manages the updates of the sources by each developer, preserves a trace of each change. Those, in good use, are each time accompanied by a comment. The system works by fusion of copies local and distant, and not by crushing of the distant version by the local version. Thus, two developers working in concert on the same source, the changes of the first to subject its work will not be lost when the second, who thus worked on a version not yet modified by the first, returns his modifications.

Generally, each version is incremented of 1 compared to the preceding one. It is called revision .
