Introduction

Source Code Management (also called Revision Control) is a technique used to manage and monitor the codebase of any software in order to track the changes made to the code. It plays an important role in a setup where there are many people (software developers) have to modify / work on the same code. In such a scenario, merging different versions of the same code and availability of the latest version of the code becomes a critical factor, SCM helps in doing that.
