# [OVERVIEW](#OVERVIEW)

Subversion is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files and directories (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like CVS, RCS or SCCS. **Subversion** keeps a single copy of the master sources. This copy is called the source \`\`repository''; it contains all the information to permit extracting previous versions of those files at any time.

For more information about the Subversion project, visit https://subversion.apache.org.

Documentation for Subversion and its tools, including detailed usage explanations of the **svn**, **svnadmin**, **svnserve** and **svnlook** programs, historical background, philosophical approaches and reasonings, etc., can be found at https://svnbook.red-bean.com/.
