Why are version control systems needed?

Version Control Systems (VCS) are necessary for:

• Tracking changes: Each version of the code is saved, allowing you to view the history of changes, who made them, when, and what was changed.
• Restoring previous versions: You can easily revert to any previous stable or required version of the project.
• Parallel development: Multiple developers can work on different parts of the project simultaneously, merging their work without conflicts.
• Branch management: Creating separate branches for new features, bug fixes, or experiments without affecting the main codebase until ready.
• Collaboration: Simplifies team interaction, allowing easy sharing of code and tracking the progress of other team members.
• Backup: The VCS repository serves as a centralized storage for the project history.
• Code review: A convenient mechanism for reviewing and discussing changes with other team members before integrating them into the main code.
