Software control management is an essential part of the development process especially if you are working in a team.
There are 3 most popular and convenient software control management systems:
- Git. It is distributed SCM system. The most widespread tool for Git is GitHub. It is used by most of developers in the world. GitHub can be easily integrated into 3 main IDEs (Eclipse, Visual Studio and XCode) with the help of plugins. These integrations make the process of uploading your code from IDE to the SCM system Git very easy and convenient.
- TFS (Team Foundation Server). It is a Microsoft product which not only allows to use it as a SCM system, but also allows to track tasks, bugs, etc. It means that TFS is not only a SCM system, but it’s also a project management system. As soon as TFS is a Microsoft Product, it provides deep integration with other Microsoft products.
TFS is available as a plugin for Visual Studio and Eclipse. - Subversion (SVN). It is the second most popular tool for SCM.
XCode (development for iOS) provides an inherited integration with Subversion and Git. You can find more about XCode and SCM here.
