VCS is a system that records the changes to file or set of files over time so that one can recall specific versions later on need basis. The complete version history get stored on a centralized repository. This centralized repository can be on local machine or on any. Central VCS server. To understand let’s take example where we code is stored using VCS. If somebody wants to make a change in the code, one need to checkout the code on local. When changes are done, new version needs to be added back to VCS. There are many VCS but subversion or SVN is most popular one. Distributed Version Control System (D-VCS) Challenge comes when a large group is make simultaneous changes. To solve that Distributed version control system came.

Version Control System A version control system (VCS) helps you to make changes in source code of the project and upload those to some central repository to keep the history of changes safe and remain available for other people of the project in order to get the updated code or merge their changes or make further changes. In simple words these are the tools which keep the history of thee source code and helps to access the history if required. These tools have their own collaboration models using which developers will share their code across teams.There are multiple such tools in market like git, svn, RTC, cleaarcase etc. This article is targeting to put down major differences between two most famous VCS tools git and SVN so it is assumed that the reader already has some familiarity with code versioning systems, the concepts of revisions. GIT Git was initially developed… Read more“Difference between Git and SVN”
