Version Control Workflow

A Version Control Workflow is a software management workflow that manages version control operations to maintain version control history.

• AKA: VCS Workflow, Source Control Workflow, Revision Control Workflow.
• Context:
  • It can typically track Version Control Changes through version control commits with version control logs.
  • It can typically manage Version Control Branches through version control branching with version control merging.
  • It can typically coordinate Version Control Collaboration through version control sharing with version control synchronization.
  • It can typically resolve Version Control Conflicts through version control comparison with version control resolution.
  • It can typically maintain Version Control History through version control revisions with version control timeline.
  • ...
  • It can often automate Version Control Processes through version control hooks with version control scripts.
  • It can often enforce Version Control Policys through version control rules with version control restrictions.
  • It can often optimize Version Control Performance through version control compression with version control optimization.
  • It can often facilitate Version Control Reviews through version control diffs with version control annotations.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Version Control Workflow to being a Complex Version Control Workflow, depending on its version control branching strategy.
  • It can range from being a Centralized Version Control Workflow to being a Distributed Version Control Workflow, depending on its version control architecture.
  • It can range from being a Linear Version Control Workflow to being a Parallel Version Control Workflow, depending on its version control development model.
  • It can range from being a Manual Version Control Workflow to being an Automated Version Control Workflow, depending on its version control automation level.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Version Control Systems for version control operation.
  • It can connect to Version Control Platforms for version control hosting.
  • It can interface with Version Control Tools for version control enhancement.
  • It can synchronize with Version Control Services for version control backup.
  • It can communicate with Version Control APIs for version control automation.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Git Version Control Workflows, such as:
    • Git Repository Management Workflow for version control Git repository.
    • GitFlow Version Control Workflow for version control feature branches.
    • GitHub Flow Version Control Workflow for version control continuous deployment.
  • Traditional Version Control Workflows, such as:
    • SVN Version Control Workflow for version control centralized model.
    • Perforce Version Control Workflow for version control large files.
    • CVS Version Control Workflow for version control legacy systems.
  • Branching Version Control Workflows, such as:
    • Feature Branch Version Control Workflow for version control feature isolation.
    • Release Branch Version Control Workflow for version control release preparation.
    • Trunk-Based Version Control Workflow for version control continuous integration.
  • Specialized Version Control Workflows, such as:
    • Forking Version Control Workflow for version control open source.
    • Pull Request Version Control Workflow for version control code review.
    • Patch Version Control Workflow for version control contribution.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • File Backup System, which copies files without version control tracking.
  • Document Management System, which manages documents without version control operations.
  • Content Delivery System, which distributes content without version control history.
