CODESYS Git - Article no. 2101000015
CODESYS Git seamlessly integrates the use of the distributed version control system Git™ into the CODESYS development environment. The functionality of Git is directly available in CODESYS. A local Git installation is not required.

Git™ is a software for distributed version control. Version control is a class of systems responsible for managing changes to documents, programs, and other information stored in files. It involves logging changes to one or a series of files over time so that a specific version can be reverted to later. In software development, version control systems are also used where a team of developers work together on the managed files.

The main tasks of a version control system are:

Logging of changes: It can be traced at any time who made which changes and when.

Restoring old statuses of individual files: Accidental changes can be undone at any time.

Archiving the individual statuses of a project: All versions can be accessed at any time.

Coordination of shared access to files by several developers

Simultaneous development of several development branches of a project

Distributed version control does not use a central repository. Each developer working on the managed project has their own repository and can synchronize it with any other repository. Version history is also distributed. Changes can be tracked locally without having to connect to a server.
