how to maintain version of web app


I am working on a PHP script where I release updates or fixes every few months and at present I am manually keeping record of version for example Product Name v1.7 or Product Name v2.2 and so on. I use PHPStorm for web development and wanted to know how do companies/people keep track of their version, do they also name and maintain it manually or is this an inbuilt feature in IDEs that can help keep track of this,

For example Wordpress, 3.7, 3.8 and many other open source/commercial products. I will really appreciate some feedback on this.


Solution

  • If you are using any version control like Git or SVN it's possible.

    You can use a commit message including name and version number of product. Later you can list all commits with the commit message.
