'''Version Control Systems''' are a category of software tools that helps in recording changes made to files by keeping a track of modifications done to the code. A version control system is a kind of software that helps the developer team to efficiently communicate and manage(track) all the changes that have been made to the [[Source Code|source code]] along with the information like who made and what change has been made. A separate branch is created for every contributor who made the changes and the changes aren’t merged into the original source code unless all are analyzed as soon as the changes are green signalled they merged to the main source code. It not only keeps source code organized but also improves [[Productivity|productivity]] by making the development process smooth.<ref>Definition - What is a Version Control System (VCS)?

		+	A '''version control system (VCS)''' is a tool that allows developers to track and manage changes to source code over time. It allows multiple developers to work on the same codebase simultaneously and provides a way to track and merge changes from multiple sources.
		+
		+	A VCS maintains a history of all changes made to the codebase, including who made the change, when it was made, and why it was made. This allows developers to go back to earlier versions of the code if necessary, to compare and merge changes, and to track the progress of the project.
		+
		+	There are several types of VCS, including centralized version control systems (CVCS) and distributed version control systems (DVCS). CVCS relies on a central server to store the codebase and track changes, while DVCS allows developers to work on their own copy of the codebase and synchronize changes with a central repository when necessary.
		+
		+	There are two main types of version control systems (VCS): centralized version control systems (CVCS) and distributed version control systems (DVCS).
		+	*Centralized version control systems (CVCS) rely on a central server to store the codebase and track changes. Developers work on their own copies of the code and submit changes to the central server, which stores a history of all changes made to the codebase. CVCS are typically easier to set up and use, and they can be a good choice for small teams or projects with a simple codebase. However, they can be less flexible and efficient than DVCS in certain situations.
		+	*Distributed version control systems (DVCS) allow developers to work on their own copy of the codebase and synchronize changes with a central repository when necessary. Each developer has a complete history of the codebase on their own computer, and changes can be merged from multiple sources. DVCS is more flexible and efficient than CVCS, as they allow developers to work independently and offline. They can be a good choice for larger teams or projects with a complex codebase. However, they can be more difficult to set up and use than CVCS.
		+	Both CVCS and DVCS have their own strengths and weaknesses, and the best choice for a given project will depend on the needs and goals of the team and the nature of the codebase.
		+
		+	VCSs are widely used in software development and are an essential part of the software development life cycle (SDLC). They allow developers to collaborate effectively and maintain the integrity and quality of the codebase.
