VCSs (version control systems) Are systems to keep track of changes to a set of files
|
|
E.g., [[git]]
|
|
|
|
## 1 Goals
|
|
- allow collaboration
|
|
- track changes
|
|
- restoring previous versions
|
|
- finding out origins of issues
|
|
- backups
|
|
- not restrict workflow
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 3 Discipline
|
|
- Pull/Push Regularly
|
|
- Use topic/features branches to keep main clean
|
|
- Dont use -f
|
|
|
|
## 4 Types
|
|
### 4.1 Centralised VCS
|
|
- Data is stored in one single central location
|
|
- Access is remote
|
|
- Checkout can block other devs
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
graph TD
|
|
subgraph Centralised Repo
|
|
Boris-. commit .->R((Repository))-- checkout -->Boris
|
|
R-- checkout -->Doris-. commmit .->R
|
|
R-- checkout -->Dennis-. commmit .->R
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4.2 Distributed VCS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Data is stored on every access point
|
|
- Good
|
|
- more robust -> each dev has a backup
|
|
- Don't need internet
|
|
- Bad
|
|
- Hard to keep track of "main" files
|
|
|
|
### 4.3 Distributed + Centralised
|
|
- Main files are stored on central repo
|
|
- Each user also has their own copy locally
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 5 Sensitive information
|
|
- Passwords and other credentials among other things
|
|
- Data should be stored as encrypted blobs

|
|
|
## 6 Forking
|
|
- Cloning into a new remote repo in your account
|
|
- Allows community to contribute to projects without giving them write access to the original repo
|
|
- Process
|
|
- Create a fork of a project
|
|
- Make Changes
|
|
- Pull request to merge fork back into project
|
|
- Admins of project can acccept modify or reject pull request
|
|

## 7 software dev needs file wrangling
|
|
many copies of a project's source code files needed:
|
|
|
|
- facilitating different developers private code experiments
|
|
- working on fixing bugs in code
|
|
- developing new features
|
|
- reviewing code changes
|
|
- managing releases of sofware products
|
|
- using [[git]]
