Git Question
-
Is there a forum for this? If so, I'll move it. I have a VS2022 solution for a application I'm working on. There are projects in the solution for the application, and there are also projects included in the solution from my framework. My framework projects are contained in their own Git repos. The question is, how do I now create a new repo for my application? There's no option in VS to add the new project to Git. In addition, the "Git Changes" menu option and "Git Changes" window show the repo as one of my framework repos. 1. Can VS work with multiple repos? 2. If so, how do I now add a new project to a new repo?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.
I used to do all version-control (git/svn etc) stuff in the VS GUI. And when somebody told me to do all git stuff on the command line I thought they were crazy. It was a mental hurdle the first few times, but now I would never go back. The command line is your friend, it hides nothing. I warmly recommend you to challenge that comfort zone. And Git - Reference[^] will get you very far. Good luck!

If you haven't upgraded to 2002 yet, you're a little bit behind the times! :laugh:

Generally speaking, the companies I have worked for are on the trailing edge of technology. Although, with this one I have doing work with CUDA on GPUs and that's been very interesting.

Could it be worth completely separating them? So put each in their own git repository and then set your framework project up to create a nuget package that the other project can simply reference. You can make private nuget packages and have this all handled by a CI solution like Github Actions

That looks really useful, thank you. It's time I made the leap ... (I'm using something else that I dare not mention.)

Use Git-Bash app in Windows and don't use IDE integrations. Bad idea. There are also visual git apps. Here is one I've made that uses Git-Core: GitHub - reignstudios/Git-It-GUI: A Git GUI client designed to be simple with game studio collaboration in mind.[^]

Visual SourceSafe? It's okay, we've been using it for over 20 years, and are beginning to move to git.

I have found that for refactoring and debugging, it helps to have all of the source code in one solution or cmake project. That way, the tools (VS, Resharper, others) can semantically "see" and analyze everything together. Once you go across boundaries like NuGet packages, some of that convenience is lost.
