Recap of the source control rules
In Chapter 5, Remote Pair Programming Setup, we discussed source control rules and all the essential information needed to start working as a remote pair. Now, it's time to recap on the rules we went through, and in the following sections we will elaborate on how to adapt them when the context requires it.
Using source control
Source control has become an essential part of the software development environment. Every programmer should use it well and with efficiency.
