Definition
What is Version Control?
Version Control tracks and manages changes to code, documents, and configurations over time using systems like Git, GitHub, and GitLab. It maintains a complete history of every change, who made it, when, and why, enabling team collaboration, safe experimentation through branching, easy rollback of mistakes, and a clear audit trail for compliance.
Over 95% of professional software teams use Git-based version control, and the practice is increasingly applied to infrastructure as code, AI model configurations, and automation workflows. Version control enables modern CI/CD pipelines, code review processes, and collaborative development practices that are essential for reliable software delivery.
BespokeWorks uses version control across all AI and automation projects, ensuring every change to your workflows, models, and integrations is tracked, reviewable, and reversible. Our Git-based workflows include branching strategies, code review, and automated deployment, providing confidence that changes can always be audited or rolled back.
