Version Control - Articulate
Overview
Articulate the principle of version control.
Instructions
Now that you have learned about the principle of version control and practiced using Git and GitHub, answer the following question (the way you would in a job interview):
Your response must:
- Explain the meaning of Version Control
- Highlight a benefit of Version Control
- Provide an application of Version Control. This means, provide an example of how Version Control could be used.
- Show a command used in Version Control (for example a Git command)
- Thoroughly explain these concepts (this likely cannot be done in less than 100 words)
Use your own words
Remember that your goal is to learn these topics well enough that you can explain them in your own words in a job interview or when you talk with your coworkers. With this in mind, you should write your response in your own words.
You should NOT copy and paste your response from the preparation material or from another source you find online, including using an AI generator. Using a response that is not your own is a violation of the University Honor Code, will result in a 0 on the assignment or failing the class, and will not help you learn.
