What would you generally recommend for software developement? Which combination do you use or would you recommend? I assume that tools are needed for Version control, issues/bugs/task, Release management, Requirement management. Tools for Test management and Project management should be accounted for as well, I guess. Did I forget anythi...
I want to compare and contrast the various source control systems out there. Any good references? ...
I'd like Visual Studio 2008 to do a get latest on the solution when I'm checking in, compile the code, run my tests, and if any of these fail, abort check-in. Is it possible to do it, and how? edit: We are using TFS for source control and nunit for testing. ...
I'm looking to move to distributed source control since I use multiple computers and often work offline. What if any distributed source control systems integrate with visual studio and how good is the integration? ...
I'm a solo developer working on a typical web project (Django + PostgresSQL) using Eclipse as my IDE and Subversion for source control. So far I've been working on a single development machine that I have setup myself. Recently, I've been asked to do some work at the customer site and there have also been a few occasions when it would ha...
I'm curious to hear about people's experiences with distributed version control in a corporate environment. Specifically: Was it difficult to gain adoption? Now that it's in place, is it well liked? What 'model' are you using (hub & spoke? Something else?) Allowing you use hub & spoke, are there any discipline problems with pushing t...
Hello, Having run a compare between a main branch folder and a given changeset in Source Control (Visual Studio TFS), and finding a number of differences, I would like to export the results to a spreadsheet so that it can be passed around and notes made etc... Is there any way that I can export this list results from the Folder Differe...
Let's say that the company has a large number of separate small to medium applications which can be logically divided into a small number of groups. For example, I can have BMW, Mazda, Honda, Ford .... , Kawasaki, Harley, .... altogether a few dozens or even hundreds of applications. I think I have 2 options in TFS: Create a separate...
I need to keep under version some large files (some Gigs). I don't need, and I can't keep under version all the version of the files. I want to be able to remove from my VCS large files version at some moment. What control version system could I use? EDIT: The files that I want to keep under version control are big .zip files or ISO...
We're using team foundation server for our source control. I frequently put files into my project (under source control) and forget to "add" them as far as TFS is concerned. There are also cases where TFS doesn't pick up new files (copy and paste a file in your project). Is there a way I can list all of the files that have not been mark...
We are moving from ClearCase to TFS2008. I easily found the MS migration tool but it seems to be targeted to TFS 2005. Any suggestions on other tools that could accomplish this? ...
We're having a problem combining 'nested files' and excluding files from source control. We're using code generation to create two partial classes for each entity - MyBusinessObject.vb and MyBusinessObject.Generated.vb We'd like the "Generated" file to appear as a nested file under the manual file. So we're modifying the project file t...
Hi, I'm begining the development of a personal Web Application project. I'd like to have a source control system for that project. At work, we user Team Foundation Server and I'm quite happy with that, mostly for the Visual Studio integration. I'd like to know if there was free source control solutions that had the same kind of integr...
DUPE: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/62694/how-do-i-start-working-in-open-source-projects Obviously it would be weird to just jump in and start submitting code, or is this perfectly normal? ...
My workshop has recently switched to Subversion from SourceSafe, freeing us from automatic locks. This led to concurrent editing of the Forms, which is wonderful. But when multiple developers commit their changes, the code files created by the designer (all the files named TheFormName.designer.cs) cause conflicts which are very difficult...
I have posted a question before, Moving away from VSS, in which I asked about the best VCS control for Delphi developers who were using VSS. Most developers seem to use svn with TortoiseSVN. I tried this for few days and I think it's the best route to go with. However, I still have some confusion about the way that svn works so here a...
After reading some posts here on the advantages of using source control for a single developer, it seems to me that the main advantage is that I will have backups of all changes to the source files. Delphi has a built-in history function that does this by default. Is this really the same or should I use a "real" source control tool inst...
"Traditional" version control systems follow a "Cathedral" model -- all the code is stored in one main repository. Distributed Version Control Systems like git allow a lot more flexibility in organizing your multiple repositories. You can "push" changes, "pull" changes, and "clone" repositories. Have you organized your repositories al...
Any good videos online on how to use Team Foundation Server as your Source Control repository? I need something quick to get me jump started. ...
