expanded
Version control systems are essential tools for managing changes to source code over time. They allow multiple contributors to work on a project simultaneously without conflicts, track modifications, and revert to previous states if necessary. This capability is critical in collaborative software development environments.
examples
In a team developing a web application, Git is used to manage source code, where each change is tracked with a unique commit identifier.
Commonly used in software development environments, especially in collaborative projects.
Designers use Git LFS to handle large binary files, ensuring that each version of high-resolution graphic assets is stored efficiently within a repository.
Applied in design fields where large assets require version management without replicating entire files unnecessarily.
