Version Control Menu
Introduction
In the Version Control menu, you can view and/or manipulate settings that are connected to version control. For example, you can view the history of the current development line.
Pull
The Pull option updates the local app to the latest revision that was committed to the version control server.
Commit
The Commit option commits all local changes made to the app since the previous commit to the version control server. For more information, see Commit.
Push
The Push option sends your local changes to the version control server. For more information, see the Commit/Push section in Version Control.
Show Changes on Disk
Show Changes on Disk opens a dialog that shows which files on disk have been changed since the last commit.
History
The History option shows the history of committed revisions of the app. For more information on what is displayed in History, see History.
Download from Version Control Server
The Download from Version Control Server option downloads an app from the Team Server or another private server. This creates a local working copy of the app for development. For more information on what settings are displayed in the Download from Version Control Server dialog box, see Download from Version Control Server.
Upload to Version Control Server
The Upload to Version Control Server option uploads a local app to a new or existing Team Server repository, or to another private server. This is only possible if the app is not yet version controlled. For more information on what settings are displayed in the Upload to Version Control Server dialog box, see Upload to Version Control Server.
Manage Branch Lines
The Manage Branch Lines option allows you to manage branch lines on the version control server that can be used to develop functionality separately from the main line. For more information on the Branch Line Manager and creating a new branch line, see Branch Line Manager and Create Branch Line.
Merge Changes Here
The Merge Changes Here option allows you to merge changes that were committed in another development line to the development line that is currently opened in Studio Pro.
Revert a Commit
The Revert a Commit option allows locally rolling back changes that were committed to the version control repository. These local changes can then be committed as a new revision.
Revert All Changes
The Revert All Changes option allows rolling back all local changes, both in the app and in files on disk, that have been introduced since the last commit.
Optimize Storage Repository
The Optimize Repository Storage… option allows you to perform a number of housekeeping tasks in the current Git repository. Git repositories can accumulate various types of garbage over the time, which may lead to possible performance bottlenecks when using version control features. When you optimize the repository storage, the file revisions are compressed to reduce disk space and increase performance and unreachable Git storage objects are removed. For more information on storage optimization, see Git Storage Optimization.
Add Snapshot of Data
The Add Snapshot of Data option creates a snapshot of the built-in database and adds that to the version control repository. This is especially useful for adding test data to your app or for demo purposes.
