Why version control?

What not to do on your projects:

Ever created a million final final definitely final .... versions of your project files / folders?

Ever used IM platforms / email to share code while collaborating on projects?

Consider this scenario

• You have a CS101 programming assignment due at midnight and you have it ready for submission. It is too close to the deadline now.
• While testing for one last time, you discover a minor bug and decide to quickly fix it.
• While attempting to fix the bug, you accidentally break the working code and end up in a big mess
• You can't recall what you changed and what you didn't.
• It's 23:57 PM
• Ctrl + Z can't help you
