Why VCS ?

There are lots of benefits to using VCS for a project. A few of them are mentioned here:

  • Collaboration: Anyone or everyone in the team can work on any file of the project at any time. There would be no question where the latest version of a file or the whole project is. It's in a common, central place, your version control system.
  • Storing versions properly: Saving a version of a file or an entire project after making changes is an essential habit, but without using a VCS, it will become very tough, tedious, and error-prone. With a VCS, we can save the entire project and mention the name of the versions as well. We can also mention the details of the projects, and what all changes have been done in the current version as compared to the previous version in a README file.
  • Restoring previous versions: If you mess up with your present code, you can simply undo the changes in a few minutes. 

There are many more features of using VCS while implementing or developing a project.
