Purpose: This research looks closely at the history and future directions of Source Control Management (SCM) when making software. This research aims to explain how SCM has changed over time. It looks at its important moments and guesses where it might progress next.
Methodology: The study uses a solid method to review the history books and update them with current trends and new things that are changing the subject. Research shows how SCM has changed over time, from its first versions to the advanced distributed control systems used today. The research looks at important things that affect how supply chain management grows. These include the need for teamwork, wanting to handle big workloads, and more use of DevOps methods. The study shows new patterns like decentralized SCM models and joining with Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipes.
Findings: The exceptional help to the idea is in joining past learning with a future look. This gives a detailed view of how SCM changes over time. This study is suitable for software makers, builders and leaders. Giving important information helps they make intelligent choices when using SCM tools. The advice about rules shows that all companies should follow the same rules. This highlights how SCM can make computer programs better, work together more efficiently and be quicker.
Unique contributor to theory, policy and practice: In the end, this study helps us better understand SCM's history and how it might change in the future. It gives a complete view useful for work practices and education discussions.
