What are the advantages of version control?

The main advantages of version control are –

  • It allows you to compare files, identify differences, and consolidate the changes seamlessly.
  • It helps to keep track of application builds by identifying which version is under which category – development, testing, QA, and production.
  • It maintains a complete history of project files that comes in handy if ever there’s a central server breakdown.
  • It is excellent for storing and maintaining multiple versions and variants of code files securely.
  • It allows you to see the changes made in the content of different files.
