Following are definitions for some of the common phrases used in Flare's integrated source control with Microsoft Team Foundation Server.
- Bind This means to connect your project to Microsoft Team Foundation Server. After doing this, you can then take advantage of all the automated source control tasks (such as check in, check out, and so on).
- Check In This means to copy your local Flare files to Microsoft Team Foundation Server, overwriting the copies stored in Microsoft Team Foundation Server. This enables other authors on your team to access and edit the latest files.
- Check Out This means to copy the latest source control files to your local Flare project and remove the "Read Only" designation from them so that you can edit the files.
- Get Latest Version This means to copy the latest source control files to your local project without necessarily checking out the files. This means that the "Read Only" designation will remain associated with the files until you check them out.
Note Flare integrates with multiple source control providers to provide built-in source control support. Each of the source control providers built-in to Flare uses different terms. As such, Flare's source control interface is different depending on which source control provider you use. Please refer to the sections for each source control provider if you need to see information about the terms used by other built-in systems.
