Version control systems (VCS) are used to manage and track changes in source code and other files. These systems often use network ports for communication between clients and repositories. Here are some commonly used version control ports and their associated VCS systems:
- Port 9418: Git – Git is a distributed version control system, and port 9418 is used for the Git protocol, which is read-only and is typically used for anonymous Git access.
- Port 22: Git (SSH) – Git can also use port 22 for secure communication over SSH. This is the default port for secure Git access.
- Port 3690: Subversion (SVN) – Subversion is a centralized version control system, and port 3690 is used for the svnserve protocol.
- Port 80 or 443: Web-based VCS – Some web-based version control systems (e.g., Git through HTTP/HTTPS) use standard web ports (HTTP on port 80 or HTTPS on port 443) for communication.
- Port 3690: CVS – Concurrent Versions System (CVS), an older version control system, uses port 3690 for communication.
- Port 8080 or 8443: Apache Archiva – Archiva, a repository manager often used in combination with Apache Maven, can use these ports for communication.
- Port 8001: Bazaar – Bazaar is a distributed version control system, and port 8001 is used for its smart server.
- Port 9417: Mercurial – Mercurial is another distributed version control system, and port 9417 is used for its built-in web server.
- Port 1960: Monotone – Monotone is a distributed version control system, and port 1960 is used for its network protocol.
These ports are important for facilitating collaboration and version control in software development and other file-based projects. They enable developers to manage changes, collaborate, and track versions of their source code and other files efficiently. The specific port used can depend on the VCS system in use and may be customized for security and network configuration
