Manual merging is also required when automatic merging runs into a change conflict; for instance, very few automatic merge tools can merge two changes to the same line of code (say, one that changes a function name, and another that adds a comment). In these cases, revision control systems resort to the user to specify the intended merge result.
The command is also available in FreeDOS [5] and PTS-DOS. [6] The Windows SUBST command is available in supported versions of the command line interpreter cmd.exe. [7] In Windows NT, SUBST uses DefineDosDevice() to create the disk mappings. The JOIN command is the "opposite" of SUBST, because JOIN will take a drive letter and make it appear as ...
Merge tracking: describes whether a system remembers what changes have been merged between which branches and only merges the changes that are missing when merging one branch into another. End of line conversions : describes whether a system can adapt the end of line characters for text files such that they match the end of line style for the ...
Meld is a visual diff and merge tool, targeted at developers. It allows users to compare two or three files or directories visually, color-coding the different lines. Meld can be used for comparing files, directories, and version controlled repositories.
Junction points are NTFS reparse points and operate similarly to symbolic links in Unix or Linux, but are only defined for directories, and may only be absolute paths on local filesystems (as opposed to remote filesystems being accessed). They are created and behave in a similar way to hard links, except that if the target directory is renamed ...
A shell script can provide a convenient variation of a system command where special environment settings, command options, or post-processing apply automatically, but in a way that allows the new script to still act as a fully normal Unix command. One example would be to create a version of ls, the command to list files, giving it a shorter ...
In the 2.6-series of the Linux Kernel, the LVM is implemented in terms of the device mapper, a simple block-level scheme for creating virtual block devices and mapping their contents onto other block devices. This minimizes the amount of relatively hard-to-debug kernel code needed to implement the LVM.
One of the problems with the script command is that it only allows logging of a child process; and often there is a need to log the command in the current process without spawning a new process, such as when automation of a script is needed that can log its own output. The Unix operating systems make this possible by use of pipes and redirects ...
