Versioning
BDB provides Versioning option as a simplified process to track changes for the various modules to ensure efficient development and enhance collaboration for effective code management.
Version control systems like Git provide a robust set of features to ensure efficient and reliable software development. They enhance collaboration, enable effective code management, and simplify the process of tracking changes, thereby contributing to the overall quality and maintainability of the software.
