We recently added Git support to PrimalScript and, subsequently, to PowerShell Studio. You can read about it here. As promised in the previous post, I will tell you a little bit more about how this works, how you can customize it, and what we have planned for it in the future. The MS SCC API […]

How Git branches affect files on disk
When I started using Git back in 2012, I wasn’t new to source control systems. I used a database-backed source control system back in the 80’s and, at Microsoft, I used Visual Source Safe (VSS) and Team Foundation Server (TFS). I was a whiz at checking files in and out, examining and comparing versions, and […]
GitHub: How to update your fork
Like almost everyone in the DevOps world, I use GitHub, not because I like it, but because everyone uses it. In fact, I dislike it, because it’s confusing by design.

PowerShell Studio 2012 with GIT, Subversion and Mercurial Oh, my!
Similar to PrimalScript 2012, we received requests to add support for GIT, Mercurial, and Subversion in PowerShell Studio 2012. The difficulty of supporting all these various source control solutions is that they all have different APIs and change over time. The varying nature of these tools could potentially make the integration outdated fairly quickly. One […]
Using GIT, Subversion and Mercurial with PrimalScript 2012
For quite some time we have been asked to add support for the aforementioned version control systems to PrimalScript. But every time we looked into it, the API changed or the preferred system du jour changed. We didn’t want to add support for too many API’s that get potentially outdated fast. But most importantly, many […]
