Implementing a Source Control System
There are several possible scenarios for adding source control to your application development work:
- A new installation of both HomeSite and a source control application
- Adding source control to an existing HomeSite installation
- Adding HomeSite to an existing source control system
Note
The order of the steps required to use source control for HomeSite projects is determined by which of these scenarios applies to your development environment, but all of the following steps must be taken:
- Install and configure the source control application.
- Create a HomeSite project.
- Establish a working directory.
- Create a source control project or add an existing project to source control.
- Add and manage project files under source control.
Standard Source Control Commands
The standard source control commands are available to HomeSite projects from the main menu and the context menus in the Projects Resource tab. Use these commands to do the following:
- Create a project and set its working directory.
- Add and remove files.
- Check-out a file to have exclusive editing rights.
- Check-in a file to make it available to another user.
- Get the latest version of a file without checking it out. You can view the file and edit it but the changes are not saved to the file in source control.
- Open the source control application to set options.
