As part of my employer’s technology refresh, we will now be using Git as our source control (alongside Azure DevOps), moving on from Team Foundation Server (TFS).
Although using Git requires a different way of thinking, it is still a type of source control, so the same steps of checking out code, making changes, and checking in still applies.
I get into work, click a few buttons to “Clone” the source (it took around an hour for that to complete though), then click a few more buttons to set up a branch. Since I had been making changes before the switch-over, I then copied my changes that I had been doing in TFS into my Git repository. After 2 hours, I had my code uploaded to the server and had a decent understanding of the process.
Today, Derek was doing the same process, and by the end of the day, he had finally sent his “Pull Request” (Code Review in TFS terms)…with the assistance of the Lead Developer. He then exclaims “that’s a fairly successful first attempt”, then goes home.
Sorry to disappoint you Derek, but this is a trivial process which took you 5.5 hours longer than me, and required assistance of the Lead Developer.
