Using git with Flare for first time - best practices?
Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2017 6:12 pm
Hello all,
I finally had time to configure MadCap Flare to our git system but I am haven't a lot of trouble with appreciating this new way for source control.
For instance...
Product stability?
When I configured bind for my first project, MadCap Flare crashed about 1/2 way into the process with an ambiguous "System.NullReferenceException" - "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
I sent a report but, like all the others, I am not convinced sending reports does anything.
Hopefully that was an anomaly.
Workflow
Now, when I open a bound project, I am asked if I want to pull from the repository. Is there any way to turn this off? Since I am the only Flare user, there will almost never be an instance where I will pull from the repo.
Besides the Flare/git user guide, can anyone offer any best practices for using Flare with git or source code in general as it relates to Flare?
Thank you,
Shawn
