Hi @pr@n,
For question 1 and 3 you can find answer in docs.microsoft.com/.../create-work-workspaces
For question 2 in docs.microsoft.com/.../version-control-metadata-navigation
Sergei,
I saw There are three types of workspace permissions:
Private workspace
Public workspace (limited)
Public workspace
Which one recommended to select?
Hi @rp@n,
I recommend selecting public workspace if you are planning to share the same VM with other developers.
Thanks Sergei,
I go through the above links, still little bit doubt. Kindly elaborate me please...
What is the purpose of workspace?
Please open the first link and read the first paragraph. It explains the purpose of workspaces.
Still not understand how workspace is linked with branch?
Kindly elaborate me please
On the second link, there is the step on how to map the local folder to the folder in the branch. You need to map 2 folders in one workspace, metadata, and project. The metadata folder from the branch is linked to K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory (disk letter can depend on the version and environment), project folder from the branch can be mapped to any folder, but usually mapped to C:\Users\user_name\Documents\Visual Studio 2015 (or 2017)\Projects
Check if emiralfg.com/.../ can guide you
docs.microsoft.com/.../version-control-metadata-navigation
Now i almost understand. As you said
"map the local folder to the folder in the branch".
Here local folder = Workspace folder
Folder in the branch = For example, DEV
Is it right?
As I saw in Solution explorer
Trunk 》Main- Metadata, Project
》DEV- Metadata , Project
I think Main is the default branch. What it stored?
I can only guess that DEV is for development and you need to map metadata and project folders to the local folder as I described above. Main most likely used for release process (merge ready changes from DEV to Main and create deployable package from Main in build pipeline).
But I recommend you to check with your team purpose of DEV and Main brances.
Now I assumed that I having all metadata means customized elements with projects in DEV branch.
Kindly let me know @ now I wants to create the Deployable package then what process need to follow...
Please explain
