Version Control System
It is a tool that helps manage and track changes to source code
VCS is essential for software development and other projects where maintaining a history of changes, collaboration
Popular VCS Tools:
Git - The most widely used DVCS; supports branching and distributed workflows.
Subversion SVN - A CVCS used in enterprise applications.
Mercurial - Another DVCS, simpler than Git in some aspects.
Perforce - A CVCS often used for large-scale enterprise projects.
Why do we need VCS ?
Tracking Changes - It records changes to files over time, enabling developers to see who changed what and when.
Collaboration - Multiple people can work on the same project simultaneously without overwriting each other’s work.
Branching and Merging -: Developers can create separate branches for different features or experiments and later merge them into the main project.
Version History - : It keeps a history of all changes, making it easy to revert to previous versions if needed.
Conflict Resolution - Helps manage and resolve conflicts when multiple developers make changes to the same file.
Backup and Recovery - Acts as a backup for the project.

Now We can see Learn.html file have symbol ( A ) File Added and Start Tacking
git commit -m "" - Now we have to commit the code means create a checkpoint for our code.
if in future some feature is not working then using checkpoint we can go backward in code using these checkpoints
