Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/version-control

Version control is the practice of tracking and managing changes to files over time, most commonly source code, using systems like Git, Subversion, or Mercurial. It allows multiple developers to collaborate, branch and merge work, and revert to previous states when needed. It is a foundational skill for virtually all professional software development and DevOps work.
