The first project I worked on in my first full-time technical writing job was a manual for IBM's CMVC (Configuration Managment and Version Control). I had no experience at all with the subject and it was a heavy slog. Since then, I have had to use several different version control systems, up to the current favourite, Git.
Free Code Camp has just published a beginner's guide to Git. Since many (if not, most) developers use Git now, some knowledge of how it works is a good thing for technical writers to have. You may even be asked to put your documentation into a Git archive.
This article covers the basics and is a good introduction to version control concepts.

There's also git - the simple guide, which is worth a look.
Thanks, Scott.
