Version Control in MPLAB® X IDE

Versioning is a system for software developers to support collaborative development in a team and track changes to source code over time from multiple developers. MPLAB^® X  Integrated Development Environment (IDE) supports version control through a variety of third-party tools. Below are several links to help you get started with these tools. This list is by no means comprehensive but should provide a good starting point.

Once a version control tool is set up in MPLAB X IDE, version control actions can be easily accessed through IDE context menu.
