What is version control?

Version control is a system that manages different versions of a project or software development, enabling multiple collaborators to work on the same project, while keeping track of all changes made. It allows users to easily track and compare modifications, revert to previous versions, and merge different versions to ensure a consistent final product. Version control also enables collaboration among developers, as they can work simultaneously on different components, and merge their changes seamlessly. By maintaining a complete history of changes, version control provides a safety net in case mistakes or issues arise, ensuring that projects can be easily managed and maintained.
