Version control – Git versus SVN
Version control is a tool that helps you recall the previous versions of your source code to check them and work with them; it is agnostic of the language or technology used and it is possible to use a version control in all softwares developed in plain text.
We can categorize the versioning control tools into the following categories:
- Centralized version: Control system needs a centralized server to work and all developers need to be connected to it so that they synchronize and download the changes from it.
- Distributed version: Control system is not centralized; in other words, each developer has the entire management version control system on their own machine, so it is possible to work locally and then synchronize it with a common server or with each developer. Distributed Version Control Systems (DVCS) are faster because they need less changes on the centralized or shared server.
Subversion (SVN) is a centralized version control system...
