Overview

Apache Subversion is a source code management solution that helps software developers create and control multiple versions of directories. The platform enables administrators to delete, rename, and copy different versions of a file on a unified interface.

Git is a source code management tool designed to help businesses manage software development projects and store codes in centralized repositories. The solution enables managers to track changes in the code and collaborate with other team members.

Pros

“Like GIT, but not Visual Source Safe (when we migrated), SVN gives the ability for many people to edit and change files and to merge the changes.”
SD

Simon D.

Technical Director

“When I update a file, I just use "svn commit" to save the changes, and if needed, I can revert back easily with "svn revert".”
DX

Derrick X.

Senior staff engineer

“Having come from Visual Source Safe in the early 2000s, Subversion was great in that it enabled more than one person to access and edit a file. ”

Simon D.

Technical Director

Pros

“I use it every day for professional software development and collaboration. Whether working on small projects or large codebases with many contributors, Git scales well and remains one of the most important tools in a developer's workflow.”
HV

Hrithik V.

Software Engineer - Trading Systems

“Git gives developers a safe and flexible way to manage code changes, collaborate with teammates, and track project history.”

“You can configure various behaviors, specify files to ignore when uploading changes, and manage credentials.”

Cons

“Also, its branching and merging features are not as advanced, making it more challenging for complex projects.”
DX

Derrick X.

Senior staff engineer

“The toolset has a use case and if you venture to far away from what they envisioned, it is difficult to work with.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Jerome R.

Software Developer

“I also wish this offered features that Git didn't have so there was a reason to use this -- as-is, it always comes down to SVN vs Git and SVN just isn't widely used in my industry anymore (seems more esoteric, and for our older projects, sadly, and wish we used it more).”

Justin C.

Software Engineer

Cons

“It can be a little bit tricky remembering the exact syntax of some of the more occasional commands required.”
JB

James B.

Head Of Development

“Only minus is having sometimes weird issues with repository but mostly its because lack of knowledge how to fix stuff.”
DG

Damian G.

CTO

“Things like 'git rebase' make little sense unless you already know what the function does.”
