VC (VERSION CONTROL)

The following links provide information on Trilinos version control processes and workflows.

• See How to Do Version Control with Git in Your CSE Project, an IDEAS Productivity "How To" Document.
• Do an initial setup to use git on any new machine.
• Use the simple centralized workflow to integrate and push changes to a shared remote tracking branch (i.e. the 'develop' branch)
• For typical development, most developers will checkout, make changes, and push Trilinos changes to the 'develop' branch.
• To fix defects on a release branch, use the release branch merge workflow.
• Use the tools gitdist and checkin-test.py to help work with Trilinos and extra repositories (e.g. inserted packages like Sundance, CTrilinos, ForTrilinos, Mesquite and MOOCHO as well as extra packages in repos like preCopyrightTrilinos).
