What is Version Control Hosting?
Version control hosting is a specialized type of web hosting service that focuses on managing and storing versions of files and code repositories.
It provides the infrastructure and tools necessary for developers to track changes, collaborate on projects, and manage different versions of their codebase effectively.
Version control hosting platforms typically offer features such as repository hosting, branching, merging, and access control, allowing developers to work on projects concurrently, revert to previous versions, and maintain a centralized record of changes.
An example of version control hosting is GitLab, a web-based Git repository manager that provides hosting services for version control repositories, issue tracking, continuous integration, and collaboration tools, enabling developers to manage and deploy their code efficiently, all powered by the hosting service to ensure reliable access to version control tools and resources.
