👉 The CVS (Concurrent Versions System) project is an open-source, distributed version control system that allows multiple developers to collaborate on software projects by tracking changes to code and other project files. CVS maintains a central repository where developers can push their local modifications, and it provides tools for branching, merging, and resolving conflicts. Unlike centralized systems, CVS supports concurrent work, enabling multiple users to work on the same codebase simultaneously without overwriting each other's changes. It has been widely used in academic and small to medium-sized projects but has seen less adoption in recent years, with Git gaining popularity for its efficiency and scalability. Despite this, CVS remains relevant in certain contexts, particularly for projects that require robust version control features.
