version control
Code history management
Version control is a system for tracking changes to files over time, especially in software development.
It records who changed what and when, allowing teams to collaborate without overwriting each other's work.
If something breaks, you can revert to an earlier version.
Git is the dominant version control system today: Did you push your changes to version control?
