What is Version Control?
Version control is a system that tracks changes to files over time, so developers can see who changed what and revert to earlier versions when needed. It keeps a history of every modification, letting multiple people work on the same project without overwriting each other's work. Teams use it to collaborate safely, experiment with new features in isolation, and recover from mistakes.
