What is Version Control?

Version Control is a system that records changes made to files over time so that previous versions can be restored whenever necessary.

Instead of creating files like:

project-final
project-final-final
project-final-v2
project-final-v3-final

Version Control stores every change in an organized history.

It allows developers to:

• Track changes
• Collaborate with teams
• Restore previous versions
• Resolve conflicts
• Manage software efficiently

Why Version Control Matters

Without Version Control:

• Files get overwritten
• Collaboration becomes difficult
• Bugs are difficult to trace
• Rollbacks become almost impossible

With Git:

• Every change is recorded.
• Every contributor works independently.
