Why do we need branch?
A branch is needed to achieve isolation of the change. Isolation enables many unique features of Changelogic changes such as planning into test release cycles, reviewing code, abandoning, switching changes, divisibility into microchanges and many more.
A branch is needed to achieve isolation of the change. Isolation enables many unique features of Changelogic changes such as planning into test release cycles, reviewing code, abandoning, switching changes, divisibility into microchanges and many more.You can start development of a change after you have set up your environment by typing ant edit from command line.
When you start development of change, Changelogic client does the following for you:
- Asks change ID from you
- Asks right base version from server
- Adds new branch to VCS, where branchpoint is base version
- Updates your working directory to that change branch
- Updates change status in server from “awaiting development” to “being developed”
- Also all statuses of all implementable tasks are updated accordingly
After you have started development you can write new code, update base version, commit to the open branch without being concerned about what you are committing (if you are the only one developing that change) and upload your current differences to proofread what you are doing.
