Git Integration enhancements in RAD Studio XE8

VersionInsight in RAD Studio XE8 has been extended further, with deeper Git integration and also support for Mercurial (in addition to Git and Subversion). In this article I want to quickly highlight the new Git features, as that’s what I mostly use, but you can see more about the Mercurial support here.

As an aside, if you’re not familiar with VersionInsight, I did some videos quite awhile ago that showed how to use it against Subversion, and then another video which shows it working against Git.

Uwe continues to do great work on the community version of VersionInsight

Uwe Schuster just keeps on adding new features to VersionInsight.

If you’re using Subversion he’s posted a long list of changes/fixes/new features here. He’s well underway on adding Mercurial and Git support as well and LiveBlame is looking very cool also.

If you haven’t updated the version of VersionInsight that comes with XE to the Community version yet, he’s even got you covered with instructions. Nice one Uwe!

VersionInsight in RAD Studio XE – Part 4 : Blame/Annotations

I’ve recorded a few videos giving an overview of the VersionInsight capabilities in RAD Studio XE (Delphi XE and C++Builder XE, to be specific).

VersionInsight in RAD Studio XE – Part 3 : Rename Support

versioninsight3_large I’ve recorded a few videos giving an overview of the VersionInsight capabilities in RAD Studio XE (Delphi XE and C++Builder XE, to be specific).

Part 3 covers VersionInsight’s ability to track when you rename a file in the IDE, and ensure that the version control repository recognises that as a rename, and not a new file. This is important in order to maintain file history before and after a rename.

VersionInsight in RAD Studio XE – Part 1

versioninsight1_large I’ve recorded a few videos giving an overview of the VersionInsight capabilities in RAD Studio XE (Delphi XE and C++Builder XE, to be specific).

Part 1 covers a brief introduction to what VersionInsight is, shows how to add a project to a repository for the first time, then demos a few of the IDE integration points, such as the ability to browse a repository, view the repository logs, check-in and the History View and Diff integrations.
