Revision

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A specific, identifiable snapshot of a file or repository at a point in time, typically referenced by a unique identifier such as a commit hash in Git or a revision number in SVN. Each revision captures the exact state of all tracked content.

    In plain English: A saved snapshot of your project at a specific moment, like a checkpoint you can go back to.

    Example: "Roll back to revision 3a9f2c1 — that's the last commit before the config change broke staging."
