A practical guide to version control for mobile developersr
summary
Overview of concrete version control practices for mobile teams: traces history from CVS/Subversion to Git and Mercurial, shows Android Studio’s Git UI and GitHub workflows, and demonstrates using the Gitignore repo plus Gradle snippets and a plugin that auto-increments version codes. Recommends commit often, always use branches and rebase frequently, squash branch history into a single commit on merge, and run tests plus GitHub Actions (spell checks, branch deploys) to keep releases reproducible and private keystores out of repos.
