Does this consider as version control?

[invisible.hippo]

Does uploading the whole source code and rename it sourcode-1.java,sourcode-2.java onto a cloud storage considered version control? Im not sure since there is no revert commit in the case for uploading to cloud storage
I dont wish to upload git hub repositories since it is private.

Thank you

Version control is just a scheme in how you track the progress of you work. This is a manual way of doing so. You don't need a remote git system to keep track of your changes. You can simply just do so by committing your changes into your local git repository without pushing into an origin server. Git differs from subversion where the latter requires a centralised system while the former is designed to be decentralised and still capable of tracking changes.

So long if you're able to recover versions of your work, it is version control. I am sure before the geeks came up with those fancy high tech systems, people were already doing this in business and government for recording their business activities.

If you're talking about source codes, there are better things like Git and svn that you have mentioned. And Github is not the only service on town.

Hosted service: Look for private repository if your project is private and proprietary. Places like BitBucket or GitLab may provide private repository.

On-premise hosting: An alternative is to have you own machine on your own private LAN to host the repository. But you need to setup the system and version control software of your choice.

For distributed version control systems, you don't even need to check in to a server. Your can check in locally to your local repository on the same desktop/laptop/workstation, which is usually a special local directory or folder on your HDD. Just don't mess around with or poke the files inside which may corrupt the repository.

You pay for private depositories on Github and get public ones for free.

Bitbucket is the opposite. You pay for public depositories and get private ones for free.
