# Reproducible Builds

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Being able to build a particular version of your Mule project at any time facilitates maintenance,
because the versions of your projects in production are not always the latest ones.

To help achieve this goal:

- Use source control for all your Mule projects and apply branching, merging, and tagging to them.  
  Do not check in Eclipse-specific files.  
  See [Git Source Control](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2) documentation for details.

- Manage dependencies strictly by using Apache Maven and an in-house repository manager, such as
  Nexus.  
  See [Maven Support in Mule](https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/latest/using-maven-with-mule) documentation for guidelines.
