In this post, I will take about how developer can develop code using their IDE of choice.
VSTS supports two types of version control Git and Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC). Use Git, Team Foundation version control (TFVC) or both to store code for your app and give you access to different versions of your code.
Depending on whether you use Git or TFVC as a repo, you can develop your code in Android Studio, Eclipse, IntelliJ, Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, or Xcode.
Git
Git is a distributed version control system. Each developer has a copy of the source repository on their dev machine. Developers can commit each set of changes on their dev machine and perform version control operations such as history and compare without a network connection. Branches are lightweight.
TFVC
TFVC is a centralized version control system that lets you apply granular permissions and restrict access down to a file level. Typically, team members have only one version of each file on their dev machines. Historical data is maintained only on the server. Branches are path-based and created on the server.
You can use TFVC to scale from small to large projects, and by using server workspaces, you can scale up to very large codebases with millions of files per branch and large binary files. And with compare and annotate you can identify the exact changes that they made.
in the upcoming post, I will write about planning and tracking work with Agile tools.
Stay tuned 😉
