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. |
