Answer from AI
Version Control System (VCS) is a tool that helps track and control changes in source code or other project files. It allows saving the history of changes, comparing versions, reverting to previous states, and working on the project simultaneously by multiple developers without conflicts.
Main advantages:
- Storing a complete history of changes
- Ability to revert to previous versions
- Collaborative work among multiple participants
- Tracking who made changes and when
Examples of popular systems: Git, SVN, Mercurial.
