Version Control Tools

Version Control Tools
 Version control is a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so
that you can recall specific versions later.
 It allows you to revert files back to a previous state, revert the entire project back to
a previous state, compare changes over time, see who last modified
 something that might be causing a problem, who introduced an issue and when, and
more.
Few well know Version Control tools:
 Rational ClearCase
 GIT
 OEM change control pack

 UCM (Unified Change Management) :UCM provides an out-of-the-box model
 Base ClearCase : It provides a basic infrastructure (UCM is built on base ClearCase).
 ClearCase can accommodate large binary files, large numbers of files, and large repository sizes.
 It supports branching, labeling, and versioning of directories.
 There is both command line capability and GUI tools to handle branching and merging
 ClearCase can be integrated with oracle database repository with the help of plugins.

22

Version Control Tools : Rational Clearcase
23

Version Control Tools : Git
 Git was initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development in 2005,
 It is a free and open source distributed version control system
 Designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
 As with most other distributed revision control systems, and unlike most client–server systems, every Git
working directory is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full version-tracking capabilities,
 Independent of network access or a central server.
Features:
 Multiple local branches that can be entirely independent of each other. The creation, merging, and
deletion of those lines of development takes seconds
 Can effectively handle large repositories Using Linux kernel.
 Instead of doing a "checkout" of the current tip of the source code, you do a "clone" of the entire
repository.
 Every file and commit is checksummed and retrieved by its checksum when checked back out.
 It has something called the "staging area" or "index". This is an intermediate area where commits can
be formatted and reviewed before completing the commit.
24

Version Control Tools : Git
25

Version Control Tools : PVCS Serena
 PVCS Version Manager is a software package by Serena Software Inc. for revision control of
files, in particular source code files.
 Follows the "locking" approach to concurrency control
 It has no merge operator built-in (but does have a separate merge command).
 PVCS can also be configured to support several users simultaneously attempting to edit the
file.
Features:
 Most programmers can use it for a simple project where the only requirement is to hold an
"incremental backup" of versions.
 Multi-platform tool
