Choosing a source code control system
Choosing a source code control system |
|
The purpose of a source code control system is to take snapshots of your files at specified points, so you can track the history of changes, or obtain earlier versions.
We have available these source code control systems:
rcs system manages the history of changes
to a single file. See `Using the RCS source code control system'.
svn (SubVersion) system manages all the
changes to an entire file tree. See the
online documentation.
cvs system is an earlier, flawed product
that has been supplanted by svn. See the man page for
cvs.
