Versioning

The Version Control option in BDB enables administrators and developers to integrate supported modules with external version control systems (VCS) such as GitLab or GitHub. This simplifies the process of tracking changes, enhances collaboration, and ensures efficient code management.

With Version Control enabled, users can:

• Push component versions to a GitLab or GitHub repository.

• Pull a specific version from the repository when needed.

• Maintain a complete version history for supported modules.

The following modules support version control integration:

• Dataset
