So, can you guys tell me why
developers MUST use source control?
- It provides one method for an entire
team to use; everybody operates under
the same 'ground rules'.
- Changes are
orderly vs. chaotic, saving
development time.
- The ability to track
changes promotes accountability and
makes it easier to find the right
persom to solve problems in the
materials maintained.
- A list of exact
changes made can be generated quickly
and easily, making it easier to
advise users of the information on
how it has changed from version to
version.
- It is easy to 'roll back' to
an earlier version of the
information, if a serious mistake was
made during a change.
Source Control is like insurance! You hope you never need it, but are glad you have it when you do!
