Where Did My GLV Go? Using Git Sync and Rebase with PowerBuilder 2022

The one-click Get Latest Version (GLV) does not exist in Git Source Code Control(SCC) systems in the same form as it has in the past for PowerBuilder when using the Microsoft Source Code Control Interface (MSSCCI) API.

The nature of Git is intrinsically distributed. How do we best periodically refresh our local copy of the PowerBuilder Workspace to determine if our individual efforts will integrate well with our fellow development team members' modifications?

In this session we’ll demonstrate how to use the Git Repository Rebase method to:

  • · Update your Workspace with other development team members' changes
  • · Completely avoid the much-dreaded server side, remote repository Merge Conflict
  • · Gracefully side-step local Merge Conflicts and avoid the need for conflict resolution

We will also demonstrate PowerBuilder 2022's new ability to generate local PBLs from Git-remote Source Files (*.SR*), which negates the need for PBLs to be in SCC
