"The two main components of version control are branching and merging." - this is another statement that SO wrong.
The main feature of VCS is keeping the history of changes!
There are pretty common workflows where there can be just ONE branch and NO merges.
Thanks for an article anyway. I hope that next article will be not that misleading for beginners.

Hi Victor, thanks for your feedback. I should clarify that the main components of version control that I utilized in my project were branching/merging. Not that they are the only components.
