SOURCE CODE CONTROL with AccuRev
Source code control or source code management is a common requirement in all modern software development projects. In its base form, it provides mechanisms for checking source code in and out of a central repository. This allows different developers to work on the same project, with reduced fears of lost code or overwritten changes. Source code control also implies a version control system that can manage files through the development lifecycle, keeping track of which changes were made, who made them, when they were made, and why. Finally, source code control also frequently involves the ability to group versioned files as a single release, maintain multiple active releases concurrently (branching), and join different releases (merging).
AccuRev solves the problem associated with traditional file-based, branch and label source code control tools with a modern, stream-based architecture that combines a flexible software development release process with integrated issue-tracking directly in the source code control GUI. More advanced source code control features and merge tracking become critical with larger enterprise applications with multiple release versions managed in parallel, and teams of developers, especially when geographically distributed or offshore teams come into play.
AccuRev provides the following features to enable source code control:
- AccuRev provides a stream-based architecture for integrated source code control and issue-tracking with dynamic software release management that not only improves individual developer and team productivity, but also makes more ways of working possible.
- AccuRev source code control with private developer workspaces, or "sandboxes," for private versioning and task-based development are native structures and can be created instantly with the StreamBrowser graphical interface. With private versioning, developers' work is continually backed up on the server and source code controlled. For those using agile practices that encourage frequent check-ins, developers have confidence that the code will successfully build and pass unit testing before integrating it into the main code line.
- AccuRev source code control with Instant Renaming and Easy Refactoring features instant, authentic, single-step renaming of any object in the source code control system, including streams, directories, user names, and files. Rename support enables AccuRev source code control to support authentic moves, which enable easy refactoring and reuse. Full history is preserved when renaming, which means no lost changes.
