Source code management (SCM) is a system that allows multiple developers to work on the same codebase simultaneously while tracking changes and allowing for easy collaboration. SCM systems also typically provide version control, which allows developers to revert to previous versions of the codebase if needed.
Importance of Source Code Management
SCM is an essential tool for any software development team. It helps to ensure that the codebase is always in a stable and consistent state, and that changes made by one developer do not break the code for other developers. SCM also makes it easy to track down bugs and fix them quickly.
Major Players in SCM
There are many different SCM systems available, but the most popular by far are Git and Subversion. Git is a distributed SCM system, which means that every developer has a complete copy of the codebase on their local machine. Subversion is a centralized SCM system, which means that there is a single central server that stores the codebase and all changes are made through that server.
