Followed by the advent of distributed version control systems (DVCS), Git naturally enables the usage of a pull-based development model, in which developers can copy the project onto their own repository and then push their changes to the original repository, where the integrators will determine the validity of the pull request. Since its ...
It is a rough merging method, but widely applicable since it only requires one common ancestor to reconstruct the changes that are to be merged. Three way merge can be done on raw text (sequence of lines) or on structured trees. [2] The three-way merge looks for sections which are the same in only two of the three files.
The death of the fork. This is by far the most common case. It is easy to declare a fork, but considerable effort to continue independent development and support. A re-merging of the fork (e.g., egcs becoming "blessed" as the new version of GNU Compiler Collection.) The death of the original (e.g. the X.Org Server succeeding and XFree86 dying.)
The trunk is usually meant to be the base of a project on which development progresses. If developers are working exclusively on the trunk (so called trunk-based development), it always contains the latest cutting-edge version of the project, but therefore may also be the most unstable version. Another approach is to split a branch off the ...
Git's design is a synthesis of Torvalds's experience with Linux in maintaining a large distributed development project, along with his intimate knowledge of file-system performance gained from the same project and the urgent need to produce a working system in short order.
Jenkins, from Hudson (2011), due to Oracle Corporation's perceived neglect of the project's infrastructure and disagreements over use of the name on non-Oracle-maintained infrastructure. Univa Grid Engine, from Oracle Grid Engine, after Oracle Corporation stopped releasing project source. Mer, started as a fork of MeeGo. libav, a fork of ffmpeg.
In version control systems, a repository is a data structure that stores metadata for a set of files or directory structure. [1] Depending on whether the version control system in use is distributed, like Git or Mercurial, or centralized, like Subversion, CVS, or Perforce, the whole set of information in the repository may be duplicated on every user's system or may be maintained on a single ...
A merge is a process by which the content of two pages are united on one page for one or more of the following reasons: Unnecessary duplication of content; Significant overlap with the topic of another page; Minimal content that could be covered in or requires the context of a page on a broader topic. A copy paste merge creates "attribution ...
