Source control
Openbravo Forge allows to use a version control system to manage your projects' code.
Openbravo Forge provides Subversion as source control system, to easy the collaborative development of extensions.
Create the repository
A repository is where Subversion stores a copy of the files of the project. The server retains both the most recent version and every historical version (past changes).
To create a repository for project, go to the administration panel (admin tab) to activate the Code artifact.
Assign roles and members
After creating the repository only project developers or owners can commit to the repository (everyone can checkout the repository in read-only mode).
To setup who can commit to the repository edit the project user and roles.
View commits
- Go to the code tab.
- Select the repository.
- Press the View Commits button.
- And then:
- Browse to the file you wish to see its activity.
- Select the revision number and see all the activity.
More repositories
Openbravo Forge allows to have as much repositories as needed with the only restriction that only one repository can be local, all other repositories have to be remote.
To create a new repository:
- Go to the code tab.
- Press the Add button.
- Add the details and press Save.
Edit and delete
To edit or delete a repository go to the code tab, select the repository you wish to edit/delete and press the desired button.
Checkout
See the code tab to know how to checkout a project code, either as anonymous or as an identified developer. Note that only developers with write access will be available to commit to the repositories.
