Source code management using version control system

Software is the most vigorous product of Information Technology. The face of software development has changed unprecedentedly and become more custom over a period of time. If we go back 15 years, one can see software were developed for supporting workstations in organizations with centralized database over multiple locations, but rise in international work standard in turn has made software development more competitive and challenging. As a result, software development happens to take place in a collaborative platform — programmers collaborate their code to a central point from multiple locations. How can programmers collaborate? Well, Source code management tools (Version Control System) tackles every single barrier associated with managing source code such as: Integrity, robustness, synchronization, linearity, and revision control. Version control adhere unique functionalities: commit, push/pull to and from code base, snapshots that makes managing source code fairly simple. However conventional version control system can't manage models and there are problems in syncing main repository and local working copy. This work draws shortcoming of ‘Git’ as a version control system in managing source code and gives insight into Git's association with source code taking line based approach that makes difficult to version control model diagrams with software development. The limitations are identified and the model is proposed to facilitate enhancement in future.
