Fundamentals of Software Version Control
2h 55m Intermediate Nov 07, 2012


This course is a gateway to learning software version control (SVC), process management, and collaboration techniques. Author Michael Lehman reviews the history of version control and demonstrates the fundamental concepts: check-in/checkout, forking, merging, commits, and distribution. The choice of an SVC system is critical to effectively managing and versioning the assets in a software development project (from source code, images, and compiled binaries to installation packages), so the course also surveys the solutions available. Michael examines Git, Perforce, Subversion, Mercurial, and Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) in particular, describing the appropriate use, features, benefits, and optimal group size for each one.
Topics include:

Comparing centralized vs. distributed systems
Saving changes and tracking history
Using revert or rollback
Working with the GUI tools
Using IDE and shell integration
Installing different systems
Creating a repository
Tagging code
Branching and merging code
Selecting a software version control system that's right for you
