دانلود کتاب کنترل نسخه با Git و GitHub

This chapter will cover the basic concepts of version control, using illustrative examples. This book draws attention to the facets that make up version control, thus encompassing tracking of code base changes, how to host a code base to support remote access, managing contributors and contributions, and best practices to adhere to. By implementing version control, the creation and enforcement of teamdriven checks and controls for introduction, scrutiny, approval, merging, and the reversal of changes, when the occasion necessitates, can be realized. Version control alludes to the tracking and traceability of changes. It is, in a way, akin to the use of a bookmark, to mark the point to return to when the reader wants to continue reading. In version control, this metaphorical bookmark marks a reference to a snapshot of the code base. This snapshot indicates the state of the product or the code base at a given point. To appreciate version control and—more so—Git, we need to consider what nature software development takes when it’s void of version control and, by extension, distributed version control that’s provided by Git.
