Revision control

overview

Version control in the cloud.
Version control system is widely used in software development projects. ciklone provide you version control system connecting with bug tracking system.

Multi-Repository

  • git ・・・Distributed version control system. Developed to control verions of linux kernel codes by Linus Tovalds.
  • mercurial ・・・Cross-platform distributed version control system.
  • subversion ・・・Centrized version control system. One of Apache projects.

subversion mercurial git

Revision control System

Revision control system imanages versions of program resources like source codes and scripts in software development projects.

With version control, software developpers can record differences of versions, which is update histories of files, backup files, fix of source codes, added scripts. They also can revert versions, re-try updates, resolve conflicts of updates, overwrite to file to control software updates, when they develop softwares in distant offices / teams.

ciklone uses subversion as a revision control system which has good record as open source system.

      

5 agendas

1. After some progress of development, developpers asks like "Why fixes like this?" or "Who added this parameters? Why?". But nobody can answer them.

Manages by emails and spreadsheets, with this way, some updates are lost from speadsheet, team member does not check / forget email. Then nobody know lastest situation. What everyone really want to know is "

2. There was a same problem. But no one knows how to fix it.

  • There is a rule to record updates of source codes, but it does not work well.
  • Everytime when software updates for additional functions or releases, new folders and files with date in file names are increased.
  • There are rules and they are strictly done by members, but team members got tired to do rules. Team members might wasting their time to do rules.
  • Most impotant thing is to develop high quality products, but it's also important to manage programs and source codes.

3. Losing data, updates and information by hardware problems and human errors.

  • Failed to recover data from backup
  • Destroyed latest source codes in file servers or local computers with a human error.
  • Don't want bother or spend costs by maintenance and operations.

4. Even if latest update or fix has big problem, can't go back to last one.

  • When team member add a new feature, he found this mistake. But he cannot make his programs back to correct version.
  • How to check other team's developpers work.

5. TWe have prenty of regacy systems, data and rules. They block to migrate to new version control system.

  • Can't migrate regacy data to new system.
  • We don't afford to introduce new version control system.
  • We don't know how to introduce and migrate new system smoothly.

5 merits

1. "Who", "When" and "Why" are important rule to share information

  • Manage source codes in one place, all version from start of project to release of products and more.
  • With tags and branches, manage not only major versions but minor versions as well.
  • Manage automatically with version controll system.

2. To cooperate with other developpers, speedy development framework.

  • visualize source codes and updates on your browsers, you can check status of your team members.
  • For effective version control, ciklone has mony features of version control system such as lock or merge.
  • As a cloud service, ciklone is secure and high availability without spending high cost.

3. Protect your source codes. recover your system from hardware problems

  • Our professional engineers maintain infrastructures and systems on clouds.
  • If you destroy your repository, you can recover from on-line backups.
  • Our professtional engineers support to maintain systems and tools.

4. Easily recover and jump to any version of software.

  • We support to migrate your repositories by CVS, Git, Mercurial and subversion to ciklone. please contact to us.

5. As a professional of software development environments, we totally support to introduce our system.

  • Migration from your CVS, subversion or VSS repositories to ciklone.
  • Easy and quick start without initial cost.
  • Big repository, distributed repository, no problem, we will support.
