Introducing source code management

SCM is a set of practices and tools that developers use to track and manage changes to their source code throughout the lifecycle of software development. SCM is essential for collaboration among developer teams to ensure the ability to revert to previous versions if issues arise with code changes.

Features of source code management

SCM has the following features:

Version tracking: SCM systems keep a record of every change made to the source code. This includes additions, deletions, and modifications to individual files. Each change is associated with a unique identifier and is known as a commit. A developer can easily view the history of changes made to the files in the codebase.
Collaboration: A team of developers often work on the same project at the same time. SCM enables collaboration by allowing developers to work with their own local copies of the code and then later merge their changes back into the central codebase...
