Manual merging is also required when automatic merging runs into a change conflict; for instance, very few automatic merge tools can merge two changes to the same line of code (say, one that changes a function name, and another that adds a comment). In these cases, revision control systems resort to the user to specify the intended merge result.
A pull request, a.k.a. merge request, is a request by a user to merge a branch into another branch. [118] [119] Git does not itself provide for pull requests, but it is a common feature of git cloud services. The underlying function of a pull request is no different than that of an administrator of a repository pulling changes from another ...
Another approach is to split a branch off the trunk, implement changes in that branch and merge the changes back into the trunk when the branch has proven to be stable and working. Depending on development mode and commit policy the trunk may contain the most stable or the least stable or something-in-between version.
Merge tracking: describes whether a system remembers what changes have been merged between which branches and only merges the changes that are missing when merging one branch into another. End of line conversions : describes whether a system can adapt the end of line characters for text files such that they match the end of line style for the ...
Version control (also known as revision control, source control, and source code management) is the software engineering practice of controlling, organizing, and tracking different versions in history of computer files; primarily source code text files, but generally any type of file.
Change Packages: Harvest can provide both version control and change management. The developer makes changes in Harvest against a change package (creating a "change set"). The change package(s) will initially consist of a number of files that the developer has either created or amended. This is the version control component of Harvest.
The contributor requests that the project maintainer pull the source code change, hence the name "pull request". The maintainer has to merge the pull request if the contribution should become part of the source base. [12] The developer creates a pull request to notify maintainers of a new change; a comment thread is associated with each pull ...
To update is to acquire or merge the changes in the repository with the working copy. CVS uses a client–server architecture: a server stores the current version(s) of a project and its history, and clients connect to the server in order to "check out" a complete copy of the project, work on this copy and then later "check in" their changes.
