Source Control Basics

There is quite a bit to know about source control—and you certainly aren’t going to become an expert just by reading about it—but you can learn the basics.

In this next section, I’m going to give you a quick rundown of the basics of source control, followed by a few of the most common source control technologies out there, so that you can at least understand how source control generally works.

Repositories

One of the key concepts with just about all source control systems is the idea of a repository—it’s basically the place where all the code is stored.

When you are working with source code, you’ll be getting the code from the repository, working on it, and checking in your changes.

Other developers may also be doing the same.

The repository is the place where all that code comes together and where the code technically “lives.”

Different source control systems have different concepts of what a repository is and might even have local repositories, but ultimately, for any codebase, there has to be one central location or repository that acts as the system of record.
