Version control (also known as revision control, source control, and source code management) is the software engineering practice of controlling, organizing, and tracking different versions in history of computer files – primarily source code text files, but generally any type of file.
The analysis highlights History and Technology as prominent areas in the source structure around Version control.
Source areas are shown by the number of related topics found in each part of the analysis. Use smaller areas too: they can reveal specialized angles and content gaps.
Smaller areas are not necessarily less important. They contain fewer connections in this analysis and can be useful for finding specialized angles or coverage gaps.

The extracted context around Version control shows recurring relationship patterns in the source. For example, Version control → After CVS, Concurrent Versions System, CVS, December, Git, IBM, IBM's OS/360 IEBUPDTE, OS/360, Panvalet, RCS, SCCS, SCCS's, Source Code Control System, Subversion, The Librarian, The Revision Control System, Two Another extracted example is Version control → CVS, Depending, Git, Mercurial, Perforce, Subversion. Use these groups to spot repeated connection types before inspecting the individual relationships.
