+00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,080

+So first of all, what is a version

+

+2

+00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,550

+control system? A version control system or VCS,

+

+3

+00:00:05,550 --> 00:00:07,670

+is a system that allows you to manage

+

+4

+00:00:07,670 --> 00:00:11,180

+multiple revisions of the same unit of information. For

+

+5

+00:00:11,180 --> 00:00:14,330

+example of documents, of source files or any

+

+6

+00:00:14,330 --> 00:00:17,380

+other item of that sort. And as the graphical

+

+7

+00:00:17,380 --> 00:00:21,240

+depiction shows, a VCS allows a multiple actors.

+

+8

+00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:25,020

+Here we have four, to cooperate and share files.

+

+9

+00:00:25,020 --> 00:00:26,980

+Now, let's drill into this concept in a little

+

+10

+00:00:26,980 --> 00:00:29,720

+more detail. And let's do that by discussing why

+

+11

+00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,870

+is VCS useful, especially in the context of software

+

+12

+00:00:32,870 --> 00:00:35,790

+engineering and of software development. So first of all,

+

+13

+00:00:35,790 --> 00:00:39,570

+using a version control system enforces discipline, because it

+

+14

+00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:43,030

+manages the process by which the control of items

+

+15

+00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:46,720

+passes from one person to another. Another important aspect

+

+16

+00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,170

+of VCS is that it allows you for archiving versions.

+

+17

+00:00:51,170 --> 00:00:54,330

+So you can store subsequent versions of source controlled

+

+18

+00:00:54,330 --> 00:00:57,450

+items into a VCS. And not only you can

+

+19

+00:00:57,450 --> 00:01:00,450

+store versions, you can also maintain a lot of

+

+20

+00:01:00,450 --> 00:01:03,480

+interesting and important historical information

+

+21

+00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,810

+about these versions. For example,

+

+22

+00:01:05,810 --> 00:01:08,070

+a VCL will store information such as, who is

+

+23

+00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:11,270

+the author for this specific version stored in the system.

+

+24

+00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:13,820

+Or, for another example, on what day and what

+

+25

+00:01:13,820 --> 00:01:16,260

+time that version was stored. And a lot of other

+

+26

+00:01:16,260 --> 00:01:19,240

+interesting information about the specific version of the

+

+27

+00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,600

+item. Information that you can then retrieve and for

+

+28

+00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,040

+example, use to compare versions. Obviously, the fact of

+

+29

+00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,970

+having a central repository in which all these items

+

+30

+00:01:27,970 --> 00:01:31,350

+are stored enables collaboration, so people can more easily

+

+31

+00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:35,510

+share data, share files, share documents through the use

+

+32

+00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:37,950

+of VCS. And I'm sure that you all had

+

+33

+00:01:37,950 --> 00:01:41,320

+the experience of deleting a file by mistake or

+

+34

+00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:43,860

+modifying a file in the wrong way, or in the

+

+35

+00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:47,830

+most common case of changing something in your code for instance.

+

+36

+00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:50,490

+And breaking something and not being able to go back

+

+37

+00:01:50,490 --> 00:01:53,630

+to a version that was working. Not remembering, for example, what

+

+38

+00:01:53,630 --> 00:01:56,130

+is that you changed that broke the code. In all

+

+39

+00:01:56,130 --> 00:01:59,850

+these cases a version control system can be extremely useful because

+

+40

+00:01:59,850 --> 00:02:03,330

+it will allow you to recover from this accidental deletions

+

+41

+00:02:03,330 --> 00:02:06,690

+or edits. And for example, to go back of yesterdays version

+

+42

+00:02:06,690 --> 00:02:09,949

+that was working perfectly, and also to compare, for example, yesterdays

+

+43

+00:02:09,949 --> 00:02:12,920

+version with today version and see what is that you changed.

+

+44

+00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:16,000

+Finally, a version control system will normally also allow you to

+

+45

+00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,460

+conserve and save disk space on both the source control client

+

+46

+00:02:20,460 --> 00:02:23,880

+and on the server. Why? Well, for instance because it's centralizing

+

+47

+00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,570

+the management of the version. So instead of having many copies

+

+48

+00:02:26,570 --> 00:02:29,480

+spread around, you'll have only one central point where these copies

+

+49

+00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,240

+are stored or a few points where these copies are stored.

+

+50

+00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,330

+In addition, version control system often

+

+51

+00:02:34,330 --> 00:02:37,470

+uses efficient algorithms to store these changes.

+

+52

+00:02:37,470 --> 00:02:41,310

+And therefore, you can keep many versions without taking up too much space.
