What does SCM stand for? [closed]

Answer 1

Software configuration management. But for most of us that effectively means source code management.

Answer 2

The top three results on acronym finder are:

****** SCM Supply Chain Management
****** SCM Software Configuration Management
****** SCM Source Code Management

Where the stars indicate the rank of the result.

So it looks like both are equally valid and equally used.

Answer 3

Software Configuration Management.

Generally, I use/hear Source Code Management when talking about, well, source code. On the other hand, if you're keeping config files (things in /etc, application-specific config files, etc.) in an SCM, then a lot of people expand the acronym to Software Configuration Management.

So its all about what you're managing ;)
