Plastic SCM for Git users
GIT | Plastic | Explanation |
---|---|---|
To Commit | To Checkin | To Checkin is to submit changes to the repo. |
Commit | Changeset | Each new change on the history of the repo, grouping several individual file and directory changes. |
Master | Main | When you create a repo in Plastic, there's always an "empty" branch. Plastic calls it Main. |
To checkout | To update | Downloading content to the workspace (working copy). This is called "update" because in Plastic, "checkout" has a different meaning. |
Checkout | When you checkout a file in Plastic, you're telling Plastic you are going to modify the file. | |
Exclusive checkout or lock | This is locking a file so nobody can touch it. It’s only useful for non-mergeable files, like binaries, images, or art in a video game. | |
Rebase | Plastic handles branching differently than Git. In Plastic, a rebase is just a merge operation. | |
Repository | Repository | Where the entire history of the project is stored. |
Working copy | Workspace | In Git, you have the working copy and the repository in the exact location. You have a working copy and a .git hidden dir with the repository. In Plastic, this is slightly different since repositories and workspaces are separated. You can have several workspaces working with the same local repository. |
