How to setup a version control system

David_

With STM32CubeIDE on Windows 11 PC, how to setup a local (not storing on Github) version control system?

How Version Control System works?  How often it freeze and save files/state of a project?  Does it restore to (a) hit 'commit' key  (b) nth compile in past (c) at any time in past?

Many thanks

How to set up the VCS will depend on which VCS you choose - and won't have anything to do with STM32CubeIDE.

Or are you really asking how to integrate a VCS into STM32CubeIDE ?

None of these has anything to do with STM32CubeIDE - it will be all down to the VCS you choose, how you choose to configure it, and/or how you choose to use it.

EDIT:

Note that a VCS doesn't need to be integrated with an IDE - any IDE - for you to use it on your projects.
