If your not using source control for your coding projects, get off my lawn. 😛 (#JustHadToSayIt) Now that I’m only reaching people who use source control (serious developers), I’d like to ask that you focus hard to only commit changes that belong to a single topic at a time. Think SRP for code commits/check-ins. What […]
Read MoreDid that get your attention? Good. I took my open-source baby steps with Codeplex and after about a year or two I discovered GitHub and I?ve literally not looked back since. So today I set out to send a pull request for a project that is hosted on Codeplex and I was amazed how alienated […]
Read MoreWe are having another great Boise Code Camp and once again, I am glad I presented. Git is a DVCS, or distributed version control system, that is gaining popularity in the .NET community. In this session, we will explore: How Git is different from other version control systems (Subversion, Team Foundation Server, Mercurial) Common tools […]
Read MoreI am using msysgit for my Git work on Windows and for quite a while I have been wanting to move the global .gitconfig file from its default location into my dropbox folder. The reason for this is probably obvious, I do not want to have to make the same configuration changes on multiple machines […]

Read MoreProblem: You run “svn update” on a directory where you *know* there are new folders. Svn tells you “At revision X” where X = whatever the head revision is (i.e., “everything’s up to date!”) – but that new folder didn’t show up. This is because the default is for svn to update folders down to […]
Read MoreThis is one of those problems that teaches humility. I’m posting this here because the solution is a) trivially obvious, any fool could see it and b) I completely overlooked the obvious solution and maybe a google “hint” would have saved me some time. At Blackfin, we use SourceGear Vault and CruiseControl.net. (We’re moving to […]
Read MoreI often have opportunities to work with organizations in transition to Team Foundation Server for their source control solution. Most large organizations (and many smaller ones) look for a migration route for their source code that allows them to retain history and their current merge/branching model. In heavily regulated environments, this is often a fundamental […]
