Version Control Guidance – Visuals to decorate your office wall or hide cracks in the wall resembling complex branches
Many of us prefer a visualization that delivers a crisp summary of hundreds to thousands of verbose text.
The Version Control (ex Branching and Merging) Guide, now in service mode [1], introduced a number of re-usable visuals for presentations and quick reference posters. We plan to update these artefacts over time and if popular, add additional material.
If you like visuals, you may find these useful:
