Why use Version Control?

Version control lets developers track every change made to a codebase and roll back to a previous state if something breaks. It removes the need for manual backups like renamed folders or zipped copies of a project. Multiple people can work on the same files at once without losing each other's changes, and every change is documented with a message explaining why it was made.
