With this knowledge, PyCharm users can apply version control to their own projects in a flexible way, skipping over the manual and tedious process in the terminal/command line. We see that, by offering these features, PyCharm allows us to focus on the actual development process in any given software engineering project.
Aside from version control, there are other practices in application development— which PyCharm provides intuitive, straightforward commands to facilitate. Without these commands, application development be quite complex and intimidating. These processes are testing, debugging, and profiling, all of which...
