Managing Projects with the History Tool

You should use versioning code history management tools (Git, Svn, etc.) to manage your development projects. You can use third-party hosting platforms (e.g., GitHub, GitLab, Gtiee, Bitbucket), or self-built (e.g., Gogs) management tools, and please at least use the tools locally to build a local version. No one knows when they're going to make a mistake. Code history allows you to view every change, roll back versions, and back up results.
