      <h1>Source control</h1>
<p>Source control systems, also known as version control systems, store code
and other static files, such as images, with a history of the changes made to
those files.</p>
<p>Version control is required for all software development projects whether 
you're an independent one person show or part of a large developer team. </p>
<h2>Source Control Systems</h2>
<p><a href="http://git-scm.com/">Git</a> is a free and open source distributed version
control system.</p>
<p><a href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/">Mercurial</a> is similar to Git, also a free
and open source distributed version control system.</p>
<h2>Source Control Third Party Services</h2>
<p><a href="https://github.com/">GitHub</a> is currently the most commonly used source
control platform for using Git.</p>
<p><a href="https://bitbucket.org/">BitBucket</a> provides free Git and Mercurial 
repositories for open projects and private repositories for up to five
users. Users pay for hosting private repositories with more than five users.</p>
<h2>Source Control Resources</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/12/12/staging-servers-source-control-deploy-workflows-and-other-stuff-nobody-teaches-you/">Staging Servers, Source Control &amp; Deploy Workflows, And Other Stuff Nobody Teaches You</a> by Patrick McKenzie.</p>
<p>This lighthearted guide to the 
<a href="http://www.flourish.org/blog/?p=397">ten astonishments in version control history</a> 
is a fun way to learn how systems developed over the past several decades.</p>
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <br/>
