Next: VC Mode Line, Up: Version Control
VC allows you to use a version control system from within Emacs, integrating the version control operations smoothly with editing. Though VC cannot completely bridge the gaps between version control systems with widely differing capabilities, it does provide a uniform interface to many version control operations. Regardless of which version control system is in use, you will be able to do basic operations in much the same way.
This section provides a general overview of version control, and describes the version control systems that VC supports. You can skip this section if you are already familiar with the version control system you want to use.
