Description: You can do anything, but you can't do everything

Source control is an essential aspect of software development, allowing teams to collaborate and manage the changes made to source code over time. However, not all source control systems are created equal. One system that has long been used by many development teams is Microsoft’s SourceSafe. While this system has served its purpose in the past, it’s time to say goodbye to SourceSafe and embrace a more modern source control system - Git.
One of the biggest risks of using SourceSafe is the potential loss of source code. SourceSafe is notorious for its instability and lack of reliability . It’s a common occurrence for users to experience database corruption, which can result in the loss of entire projects or portions of the codebase. This is a huge issue for businesses that rely on their source code to drive their products and services.
