Verziókezelk

Verziókezelő, often translated as version control or configuration management, refers to a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later. This allows you to revert files back to a previous state, compare changes between versions, and track who made what changes and when.

The primary purpose of version control is to manage changes effectively, especially in collaborative environments. Developers working on the same project can use version control to merge their contributions without overwriting each other's work. It provides a safety net, enabling teams to recover from mistakes or experimental features that don't pan out.

Common version control systems include Git, Subversion (SVN), and Mercurial. Git is currently the most popular, known for its distributed nature, speed, and flexibility. These systems typically operate through a central repository or a distributed network of repositories where different versions of the project are stored. Key operations include committing changes, branching to work on features independently, merging branches back together, and updating to the latest version.
