Subversion

Of course, this book aims to cover the nuts and bolts of Subversion as completely as possible—you can’t very well use Subversion to develop software if you can’t use Subversion—but it does so in the context of how to do the things you want to do in day-to-day software development. The book also goes a step further: It explains how to expand on the built-in capabilities of Subversion to make the system work for you. In some places, that takes the form of example scripts or con?gurations. In others, it is merely ideas that you can expand to ?t your software development process. This is not a book to sell a process. I do make suggestions here and there of what I think will work in certain situations, but you don’t need to buy into my “exhalted process” to get the most from this book. Instead of showing you how you should develop your software, I show you how Subversion can make your process easier.

Git, Version Control System

What is version control, and why should you care? Version control is a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later. For the examples in this book, you will use software source code as the files being version controlled, though in reality you can do this with nearly any type of file on a computer.
