We are using GitHub to store our code repositories, and we would like all developers to ensure that branches are up to date with master before doing local developer testing, and merging. There are two ways of updating a branch with the commits of mas
Let's imagine the blerp command line tool maintained on git. This tool has the (hidden) --version option which returns its version (let's say 0.1.2) and another --commit which returns the commit number from which it was built. Both the version and th

I am a begginer with Pharo, and I have learnt about Monticello and Metacello. As far as I understand, Pharo not being file-based means that one cannot use common source control tools such as Git directly. Yet I see some Pharo repositories on Github,
Imagine a cloned repo with several remotes... origin https://github.com/mralexgray/HTTPKit (fetch) origin https://github.com/mralexgray/HTTPKit (push) upstream https://github.com/maintainer/HTTPKit (fetch) upstream https://github.com/maintainer/HTTPK

In my coding projects, each file usually has a commented out header part that contains some information regarding the file, including the current project version. Whenever I release a new version of the project, I need to update the version informati
git pull --rebase removes unpushed merge commits. Is there a way to make it preserve them? Say my history looks like- A | \ B H | | C G | | D F | / E (A being the merge commit.) After a git pull --rebase it becomes- H | G | F | X | B | C | D | E (X b

I friend of mine and I had a discussion a few days back about the size of a commit message when using version control systems. I had the idea of committing often and small when he on the other hand used larger commit message but instead committed not
I am going to use Git version control by IntelliJ Community Edition in order to make branches of the programs I intend to develop. I am striving to accustom myself to its functionality and I come accross obstacles. I follow the instructions of the we
I'm new to source control. I'm working on a team right now, and we're using Perforce (the GUI version P4V). I'm connected to my team's repository, and after I know I have something working, I commit new files or my changes to the repository. This is

We are a company, working on small and some huge project. Sometimes on one project are more developers 5, 10, 20 etc. We are searching for an effective revision control system with best optional properties: Performance issues – one file size, complex
What's the standard/best option out there for this kind of version control? The main thing I'm looking for is to track what user edited a record. I've seen these so far and am wondering what your take is: PaperTrail ActsAsAudited VestalVersionsThe pl
Git/Mercurial have been becoming more and more popular. I have seen plenty of articles comparing SVN with Git/Mercurial, but I am wondering if there is really any reason to still use SVN. It seems like there are plenty of tools for Git/Mercurial now
I have spent some months working on a web application and we're come close to production stage. It's soon time to expand the development group with 1-3 people on this project. I have not too much experience on working with SVN, but It's obviously the

I'd like to hear how other web developers manage their websites over the life of the project. For example I have several sites I've been developing for several years where a "version" could be a completely separate code base. So version 1.0 migh
I've encountered a project where we use staircase branching. To clarify, this is the approach where code is branched for development and when the development completes, rather than cutting back to a trunk/main line, the dev branch is designated as th
