Version Control
During software development, it’s essential that a track is kept of changes to the code we develop. Our Version Control system provides this tracking and monitoring and gives us a lot of benefits:
- Backup and Restore – we keep code in a “repository”. This is actually offsite in a fully protected data centre, and whenever a developer has finished working on an item, he sends it to the repository for safekeeping
- Synchronization – the repository is accessible by all developers, so they can all get the most up to date version of the team’s work whenever the like
- Short-term undo – as each time a file is sent to the repository a copy of the previous version is kept, we can always get the “last known good” version
- Track Changes – we can see who changed what in a file at any time
- Branching and merging – when we begin working on the second release of a programme, we can branch so that we keep a copy of the previous release
Version Control is an essential part of any software development company’s working practices – put your trust in a company that understands this. Call us today to find out how we can benefit your business.
