källkodssystem
A källkodssystem, also known as source code management system or version control system, is a software tool that helps manage changes to source code over time. It allows multiple people to work on the same codebase simultaneously without overwriting each other's changes. Källkodssystemen track every modification to the code in a special kind of database. If a mistake is made, developers can turn back the clock and compare earlier versions of the code to help fix the mistake while minimizing disruption to all team members.
The most common types of källkodssystemen are centralized and decentralized. Centralized systems, like Subversion (SVN), have
Key features of källkodssystemen include:
- Versioning: Tracking changes to the code over time.
- Branching and merging: Allowing developers to work on different features or bug fixes simultaneously without interfering
- Collaboration: Enabling multiple developers to work on the same codebase.
- History: Providing a record of all changes made to the code.
- Rollback: Allowing developers to revert to previous versions of the code.
Källkodssystemen are essential tools for software development, enabling teams to work more efficiently and effectively. They
