know as revision control or source control system, is a software utility that tracks and manages changes to a filesystem. A VCS also offers collaborative utilities to share and integrate these filesystem changes to other VCS users. When operating at the filesystem level, a VCS will track the addition, deletion, and modification actions applied to files and directories. A repository is a VCS term which describes when VCS is tracking a filesystem. In the scope of individual source code files, a VCS will track additions, deletions, modifications of the lines of text within that file. Popular software industry VCS options include Git, Mercurial, SVN and preforce.</p> </div> </div> <div class="column column-lg-5 column-md-5 column-lg-offset-1 s0 between" > <div class="component component--image"> <img id="fce6a590" alt="Version control graph" class="component__image" src="https://wac-cdn.atlassian.com/dam/jcr:07a92202-d02b-4875-bb8a-e138cd7b26f1/version-control.svg?cdnVersion=2630" loading="lazy" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container-fluid lg-comfortable-top lg-none-bottom"> <div class="row flex-container reduced-row"> <div class="column column-md-8 column-md-offset-2 text-center s0 between" > <div class="component component--heading-textblock text-oversized"> <h2 class="fnt-wt font-wt- fnt-mg font-mgn- fnt-ln font-lnh- heading" > Why do I need version control software? </h2> <p>VCS is an invaluable tool with many benefits to a collaborative software team workflow. Any software project that has more than one developer maintaining source code files should absolutely use a VCS. Additionally, sole-maintainer projects will also greatly benefit from utilizing a VCS. There is arguably no valid reason to forgo the use of a VCS in any modern software development project.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row flex-container reduced-row"> <div class="column s0 between" > <div class="component component--horizontal-rule align-center"> <hr class="type3 " /> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container-fluid lg-comfortable-bottom lg-none-top"> <div class="row flex-container reduced-row"> <div class="column column-sm-6 column-md-4 s0 between" > <div class="component component--image-heading-textblock"> <div class="component__image component__image--left"> <img id="9c1a293e" alt="Icon" class="component__image" style="width:30px;height:30px;" src="https://wac-cdn.atlassian.com/dam/jcr:f70fedf2-b6a8-4f63-871e-f16b0a42c5e7/object-thumbsup.svg?cdnVersion=2630" loading="lazy" /> </div> <div class="component__heading-textblock component__heading-textblock--right" style="padding-left:30px;"> <h4 class="fnt-wt font-wt- fnt-mg font-mgn- fnt-ln font-lnh- heading" > Conflict resolution </h4> <p>During the life-cycle of a team driven software project, it is most likely that multiple team members will have the need to make changes to the same source code file at the same time. A VCS will tracks and aids in conflicts between multiple developers. These conflict resolution operations leave an audit trail that provides insight into the history of a project.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="column column-sm-6 column-md-4 s0 between" > <div class="component component--image-heading-textblock"> <div class="component__image component__image--left"> <img id="2697dfcc" alt="Status Sync Icon" class="component__image" style="width:30px;height:30px;" src="https://wac-cdn.atlassian.com/dam/jcr:5719d2c4-87df-4ff8-9e32-0c318fb4bea3/status-sync.svg?cdnVersion=2630" loading="lazy" /> </div> <div class="component__heading-textblock component__heading-textblock--right" style="padding-left:30px;"> <h4 class="fnt-wt font-wt- fnt-mg font-mgn- fnt-ln font-lnh- heading" > Rollback and undo changes to source code </h4> <p>Once a VCS has begun tracking a source code file system, it keeps a history of changes and the state of the source code throughout a project’s history. This enables the possibility to “undo” or rollback a source code project to a last well-known state. If a bug is discovered in a live application, the code can be quickly reverted to a known stable version.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="column column-sm-6 column-md-4 s0 between" > <div class="component component--image-heading-textblock"> <div class="component__image component__image--left"> <img id="45160a65" alt="Database Icon" class="component__image" style="width:30px;height:30px;" src="https://wac-cdn.atlassian.com/dam/jcr:60d520c7-cd18-4bbf-8dc9-a1adf5693aac/admin-database.svg?cdnVersion=2630" loading="lazy" /> </div> <div class="component__heading-textblock component__heading-textblock--right" style="padding-left:30px;"> <h4 class="fnt-wt font-wt- fnt-mg font-mgn- fnt-ln font-lnh- heading" > Offsite source code backup </h4> <p>When using a VCS collaboratively, a remote instance of the VCS needs to be created to share changes between developers. This remote VCS instance could be hosted off-site with a trusted third-party like Bitbucket. It then becomes a secure offsite backup. In an unfortunate scenario like a stolen laptop, the remote VCS instance will still retain a copy of the source code.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row reduced-row"> <div class="column column-lg-3 column-sm-6 column-lg-offset-2 s0 between" > <div class="component component--image" style="margin-bottom:20px;"> <img id="48e12ca3" alt="Distributed version control software diagram" class="component__image" style="height:200px;" src="https://wac-cdn.atlassian.com/dam/jcr:221c9d09-9b40-4bca-8ca9-812b6098724e/distributed.png?cdnVersion=2630" loading="lazy" /> </div> <div class="component component--heading text-center"> <h5 class="fnt-wt font-wt- fnt-mg font-mgn- fnt-ln font-lnh- heading" > DISTRIBUTED </h5> </div> </div> <div class="column column-lg-3 column-sm-6 column-lg-offset-2 s0 between" > <div class="component component--image" style="margin-bottom:20px;"> <img id="a6907460" alt="Centralized version control software diagram" class="component__image" style="height:200px;" src="https://wac-cdn.atlassian.com/dam/jcr:bf87c338-2cce-4835-8ac7-25f689c9519d/centralized.png?cdnVersion=2630" loading="lazy" /> </div> <div class="component component--heading text-center"> <h5 class="fnt-wt font-wt- fnt-mg font-mgn- fnt-ln font-lnh- heading" > CENTRALIZED </h5> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container-fluid lg-none-bottom"> <div class="row reduced-row"> <div class="column column-lg-5 s0 between" > <div class="component component--heading"> <h2 class="fnt-wt font-wt- fnt-mg font-mgn- fnt-ln font-lnh- heading" > VCS tools come in two primary types of remote architecture.

A centralized VCS has a single point of failure, which is the remote central VCS instance. If this instance is lost, it can cause productivity and data loss, and it will need to be replaced with another copy of the source code. If it temporarily becomes unavailable, it will prevent developers from pushing, merging or rolling-back code. A distributed model architecture avoids these pitfalls by keeping a full copy of the source code at each VCS instance. If any of the previously mentioned centralized failure scenarios happen within the distributed model, a new VCS instance can be swapped in to lead development mitigating any serious drop in productivity.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container-fluid lg-comfortable"> <div class="row reduced-row"> <div class="column s0 between" > <div class="component component--horizontal-rule align-center"> <hr class="default " /> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container-fluid lg-none text-center"> <div class="row flex-container reduced-row"> <div class="column column-md-8 column-md-offset-2 text-center s0 between" > <div class="component component--heading-textblock text-oversized"> <h2 class="fnt-wt font-wt- fnt-mg font-mgn- fnt-ln font-lnh- heading" > The benefits of version control tools </h2> <p>Integrating a VCS into a software development project enables a variety of organizational and management benefits. By default, a VCS on its own offers the previously discussed technical benefits of team conflict resolution and collaboration aides. A hosted VCS service wraps a default VCS and gives enhanced features. This 'enhanced VCS' is incredibly powerful and gives a transparent view into the software development process, which can traditionally be an opaque creative endeavor. The following points are some high-level benefits a hosted VCS offers.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row flex-container reduced-row"> <div class="column s0 between" > <div class="component component--horizontal-rule align-center"> <hr class="type3 " /> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container-fluid lg-comfortable-bottom lg-none-top"> <div class="row flex-container reduced-row"> <div class="column column-sm-6 column-md-5 column-lg-5 column-lg-offset-1 column-md-offset-1 s0 between" > <div class="component component--image-heading-textblock"> <div class="component__image component__image--left"> <img id="074c9620" alt="Icon" class="component__image" style="width:30px;height:30px;" src="https://wac-cdn.atlassian.com/dam/jcr:43025dea-e639-41b5-bd56-dcf8d8b08f22/object-puzzle.svg?cdnVersion=2630" loading="lazy" /> </div> <div class="component__heading-textblock component__heading-textblock--right" style="padding-left:30px;"> <h4 class="fnt-wt font-wt- fnt-mg font-mgn- fnt-ln font-lnh- heading" > Extended 3rd party integrations </h4> <p>A VCS can be further enhanced when integrated with a secure 3rd party hosted solution like Bitbucket. A hosted VCS offers its own further extensions to other apps and services, through integrations like the Atlassian Marketplace. For example, a VCS hosted with Bitbucket will have the ability to share VCS data with Jira task tracking software, and the Confluence knowledge base documentation platform. These are only two examples, from a world of integrations that a hosted VCS can offer.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="column column-sm-6 column-lg-5 column-md-5 s0 between" > <div class="component component--image-heading-textblock"> <div class="component__image component__image--left"> <img id="7c0aecbd" alt="Message Icon" class="component__image" style="width:30px;height:30px;" src="https://wac-cdn.atlassian.com/dam/jcr:de3e46ac-84ec-4dd3-9cbc-85cb79dea1c1/message-bubble%20multi.svg?cdnVersion=2630" loading="lazy" /> </div> <div class="component__heading-textblock component__heading-textblock--right" style="padding-left:30px;"> <h4 class="fnt-wt font-wt- fnt-mg font-mgn- fnt-ln font-lnh- heading" > Team communication </h4> <p>A hosted VCS provides extended messaging and forum-like communication tools, which can be invaluable aides in team collaboration. These messaging tools enable clear threaded discussion of line-by-line source code development. The messaging tools are not restricted to source code discussion and can be invaluable tools to promote cross team discussion on high-level business goals related to source code development.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="column column-sm-6 column-lg-5 column-md-5 column-lg-offset-1 column-md-offset-1 s0 between" > <div class="component component--image-heading-textblock"> <div class="component__image component__image--left"> <img id="5cdf6469" alt="Chart Bar Icon" class="component__image" style="width:30px;height:30px;" src="https://wac-cdn.atlassian.com/dam/jcr:34ad3e71-cde3-4cc3-bf87-34eb6c43d1e4/chart-bar%20line.svg?cdnVersion=2630" loading="lazy" /> </div> <div class="component__heading-textblock component__heading-textblock--right" style="padding-left:30px;"> <h4 class="fnt-wt font-wt- fnt-mg font-mgn- fnt-ln font-lnh- heading" > Insight, measurement and accountability </h4> <p>An engineering based organization can use a hosted VCS to track and measure key performance indicators (KPIs). A hosted VCS will give insight into the speed and efficiency a software development project is operating within. A hosted VCS provides tools to capture measurements like: new features deployed, code creation velocity, time in development, bugs created and fixed, and more.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="column column-sm-6 column-lg-5 column-md-5 s0 between" > <div class="component component--image-heading-textblock"> <div class="component__image component__image--left"> <img id="31755cf6" alt="Gears Icon" class="component__image" style="width:30px;height:30px;" src="https://wac-cdn.atlassian.com/dam/jcr:287aca64-7562-4c82-8baf-63e3ae798507/admin-gears.svg?cdnVersion=2630" loading="lazy" /> </div> <div class="component__heading-textblock component__heading-textblock--right" style="padding-left:30px;"> <h4 class="fnt-wt font-wt- fnt-mg font-mgn- fnt-ln font-lnh- heading" > CI/CD pipeline automation </h4> <p>Continuous delivery workflows can be constructed through the use of hosted VCS external integrations. A developer initiates a transaction to integrate their source code edits into the larger code base. During this process the hosted VCS can be configured with many extensions to help streamline the code review and delivery process. Things like automated builds, tests, and deployments can be orchestrated in a simple config-as-code YAML file.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container-fluid lg-none-bottom"> <div class="row reduced-row"> <div class="column column-lg-10 column-lg-offset-1 text-center " > <div class="intra-div s0 between block-theme-one "> <div class="component component--image-heading-textblock text-oversized text-center"> <div class="component__image"> <img id="c46c2bec" alt="Bitbucket logo" class="component__image" style="height:70px;" src="https://wac-cdn.atlassian.com/dam/jcr:a17e66da-d0a1-4912-878c-6e103111b9df/Bitbucket-icon-blue-rgb.svg?cdnVersion=2630" loading="lazy" /> </div> <div class="component__heading-textblock"> <h2 class="fnt-wt font-wt- fnt-mg font-mgn- fnt-ln font-lnh- heading" > Learn more about version control </h2> <p style="text-align: center;">All of these aforementioned version control features are readily available on Bitbucket.</p> </div> </div> <div class="component component--link-button "> <a href="/product/" data-event="clicked" data-uuid="f6183684-4f" data-event-component="linkButton" data-event-container="linkButton" data-schema-version="1" data-product-key="bitbucket" data-label="Learn more" data-label-english="Learn more" class="component__link link-arrow " > Learn more<svg class="link-arrow-image" width="11px" height="8px" viewBox="0 0 11 8" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"><g class="group-path" transform="translate(-138.000000, -586.000000)" fill="#0052CC"><path d="M145.2803,586.507862 L144.2193,587.568863 L145.9393,589.287862 L138.7503,589.287862 C138.3363,589.287862 138.0003,589.623862 138.0003,590.037862 C138.0003,590.451862 138.3363,590.787862 138.7503,590.787862 L145.9393,590.787862 L144.2193,592.507862 L145.2803,593.568863 L148.8103,590.037862 L145.2803,586.507862 Z"></path></g></g></svg> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container-fluid lg-none-bottom lg-comfortable-top"> <div class="row flex-container reduced-row"> <div class="column column-md-8 column-md-offset-2 text-center s0 between" > <div class="component component--heading-textblock text-oversized"> <h2 class="fnt-wt font-wt- fnt-mg font-mgn- fnt-ln font-lnh- heading" > Comparing version control software </h2> <p>The following is an overview and comparison of popular VCS options.
