Project Description
The purpose of this project is to build some insightful and practical guidance around branching and merging with Visual Studio Team Foundation Server by the Visual Studio ALM Rangers . The new guidance builds upon the previous release with some updates to the core materials as well as guidance on additional scenarios that include guidance for sharing resources in Team Foundation Server via branching, Database/BI scenarios, baseless merging, and new features in Team Foundation Server such as local workspaces.. The new release focuses on Hands on Labs and includes lots of lessons learnt from the community Q&A.
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Branching Guide
Branching and merging of software is a very large topic. It is an area where there is a lot of maturity in the software industry. This Ranger solution focuses on applied and practical examples of branching that you can use right now. The guide includes discussions around branching concepts and strategies but also focuses on practical hands-on labs.
