Revision and version control

Revision and version control is used to manage changes to documents, computer programs, websites, and other collections of information. Use it to revert files to previous versions.

We use the GitHub Enterprise platform for code version control.

Key features

  • Revisions to files can be compared, restored, and with some types of files, merged.
  • Track your collaborator's edits and correct mistakes.
