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.
Branching and merging, dependency management and version control 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 that you can use right now. The guide includes discussions around concepts and strategies but also focuses on practical Hands-on Labs (HOL) and walkthroughs.
With version 3 the team is introducing a new crisper, more compact style, which is easier to consume on multiple devices without sacrificing any content. The content is updated and aligns with the latest Visual Studio technologies and incorporates feedback from the readers of the previous guidance focused on branching and merging scenarios, TFVC Gems and Dependency Management using NuGet, and Git for the TFVC User.
Visual Studio ALM Rangers
This guidance is created by the Rangers who have the mission to provide out of band solutions for missing features or guidance. This content was created with support from Microsoft Product Group, Microsoft Most Valued Professionals (MVPs) and technical specialists from technology communities around the globe, giving you a real-world view from the field, where the technology has been tested and used.
