Version control keeps a track of every modification to code in a kind of database. If a mistake is made, you can turn back the clock, compare it to earlier versions and help to fix the mistake, while minimising disruption to others that are working on that code. The code that you could be tracking could be software source code or it could be infrastructure code. It can be any type of code. Version control isn't just for software developers.

For most projects where code is used, whether it be application code or the code you use to deploy your infrastructure resources. It is the jewel in the crown. The code is a precious asset that must be protected. The code repository holds knowledge and history of working through the project. It holds the key to problems encountered and the solutions. It counts towards a lot of time and effort.

Multiple people can be working on the code at any one time. It's not uncommon for a team of people to be working on the same code. One engineer could be adding a new feature to the code while another is trying to solve a bug. Version control allows you to track the changes by individuals. You can also create what is known as branches, from the main code. Allowing each team member to work on their task separately and then when they are ready they can merge their changes back to the main code. The branches allow people to work without being blocked by others. And being able to merge the code back to the main code allows checks to be put in place to ensure there are no code conflicts that could cause issues.
