Overview
The SCM administrator (Source Code Manager) allows you to directly manage the branches of the various projects in the SCM.
A branch is a copy of the project created at a given time. For example, a branch can be created to stabilize a version released to the end users. Developers can work both on the branch and on the elements planned for a future version. For more details on branches, see Managing branches.
Note: The SCM administrator can also be used to perform maintenance operations on the repository, etc. For more details, see SCM administrator overview.
Managing branches

Creating a branch

To create a branch:
  1. Select the directory containing the desired project in the SCM Administrator.
  2. On the "Directories and projects" tab, in the "Branches" group, click "Create a branch".
The branch creation wizard opens. For more details, see Creating a branch.
Branch in a directory: The SCM administrator also allows you to create a branch in a specific directory (even if it doesn't contain a project). For example, you can create a branch in a directory containing other resources, such as images, skin templates, etc.

Retrieving changes made in a branch

To get the changes made in a branch:
  1. Select the desired project in the SCM administrator.
  2. On the "Directories and projects" tab, in the "Branches" group, click "Get changes".
The wizard for retrieving the changes made in a branch opens. For more details, see Retrieving the changes made in a branch.
Branch in a directory: The SCM administrator also allows you to retrieve the changes made in a branch in a specific directory.

Deleting a branch

To delete a branch:
  1. Select the desired branch in the SCM administrator.
  2. Select "Delete" in the context menu of the branch.
