Specifically, large files are downloaded during the checkout process rather than during cloning or fetching.
Git LFS (Large File Storage) is a Git extension developed by Atlassian, GitHub, and a few other open source contributors, that reduces the impact of large files in your repository by downloading the relevant versions of them lazily. For projects containing large files, particularly large files that are modified regularly, this initial clone can take a huge amount of time, as every version of every file has to be downloaded by the client. Users can search commit histories, detect and resolve conflicts, and add in their own commands.Git is a distributed version control system, meaning the entire history of the repository is transferred to the client during the cloning process. Not only can developers use the client to commit, push, pull and merge their own changes to the mainline code base, but the software also offers the ability to bookmark parts of a repository. SourceTree offers more Git commands and functionality than the typical IDE module, Lionetti said. Most IDEs (integrated developer environments) - including NetBeans, Microsoft Visual Studio, EMacs - now provide a way for developers to interact with Git directly from within the IDE itself, usually through a plug-in or module. Git itself offers only a command line interface, which can slow developers not used to working in such an environment. Git uses a distributed model, where a canonical copy of working code base, called the mainline, is kept on a hub, and individual developers can make copies of the code base on their own machines.
SourceTree also works with the Mercurial and Subversion DVCSes, though the current Windows release is labeled as beta until full Mercurial support is added within the next few months.įirst developed by Linux creator Linus Torvalds, Git has increasingly found favor over the past few years, thanks to how effectively it manages large code bases that are worked on by geographically dispersed teams.
