Then you use pull requests to merge changes into the read-only central shared repository.ĭocumentation hosted at Microsoft Learn resides in several different repositories at.
Microsoft requires you to fork the appropriate repository into your own GitHub account so that you have read/write permissions there to store your proposed changes. To contribute to Microsoft's documentation site, you can make and edit Markdown files locally by cloning the corresponding documentation repository. You can continue directly to the quick changes workflow. That's said, with both Mercurial and Git, you can synchronise your repositories across the net any time, so I would surely recommend you try that out some time.Īnd note: the best backup is having a copy of your data on a live file system on another computer, preferably at another location.If you're making only minor changes to an article, you do not need to complete the steps in this article. $ hg fetch # performs an hg pull, followed by an update. Two repositories U and W, for Ubuntu and Windows respectively, and one shared repository S, accessable frome either boot environment.Īssuming a stable situation, with all three repositories in sync:Ĭommit any new code to repository U in Ubuntu. In this particular case, I would not trust a single shared filesystem as the best basket to put your eggs in In each boot environment, I would maintain working repositories separate from the shared one.
What file system type will you use for the shared repository?.Most likely Mercurial, as it has the best windows support (including the TortoiseHg gui), but Git works similarly. If you definitely want a repository that's always available on a local filesystem, I'd probably go for Mercurial or Git. Internet is not something I can depend on (I now know git takes care of this.! :)), I would not want version of, say my personal recordings of some home functions tweaked in audacity, to be hosted on-line! Right now, I am trying out git, as a local repository solution. Everyone has suggested an on-line repository but I 'need it to be local'.
Yes I do want the same repository to be accessed from different operating systems. I looked for Mercurial, but I am not sure if I can use the same repository on both the OS! I have used VSS for this purpose before, but that is only on Windows! The biggest problem is, I need the same local repository to be available on both windows and Linux! (Is this even possible? :s ) I dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu and have managed to setup workspace that works in both OS without changes, now I need a source control software!Įasy installation, I have never installed one before! :)
I am looking for a 'local' source control software, I don't need it to be necessarily available on network.
