go to post Ben Spead · Nov 12, 2021 @Nicola Sartore - what does your organization use for a source control strategy? if you use server-side source control hooks and you are on at least Cache 2017.1 (or any version of IRIS) then you can mix and match Studio and VS Code as VSCode fully supports server side source control (as well as client side, but if you are a Studio shop then you don't have any client side source control in place)

go to post Ben Spead · Nov 8, 2021 @Timothy Leavitt - I may be able to answer my own question here ... are the additional benefits the visual branch UI that is build into the IDE and the package manager awareness?
go to post Ben Spead · Nov 8, 2021 Thanks @Timothy Leavitt for that detail. In what way will these hooks be superior to the existing client-side VSCode hooks for Git? I am interested in understanding the additional benefit for local instance work
go to post Ben Spead · Nov 8, 2021 Great job @Timothy Leavitt and team!! This been a significant need for some time in order to support organizations that work in a shared-dev model, as well as those looking to connect the source controlled SMP pages to Git. I look forward to seeing how this enables out community to make more thorough use of source control!
go to post Ben Spead · Nov 8, 2021 Please Note - the CCR Tier 1 Training which is a prerequisite for this Certification is being offered online at the end of November: https://community.intersystems.com/post/ccr-tier-1-virtual-training-november-30-december-2 Please make sure to sign up if you can use a refresher :)
go to post Ben Spead · Nov 8, 2021 I would encourage anyone who is implementing or maintaining a CCR-controlled system to consider taking this course! Sam does an excellent job and if you haven't gone through the ICC material in a while I can promise that you'll walk away with new learning and be better equipped to use CCR to increase productivity and decrease risk to your applications. Please also note that this course is the prerequisite to the CCR Certification exam which will soon be available for beta testing: https://community.intersystems.com/post/beta-testers-needed-our-upcoming-ccr-technical-implementation-specialist-certification-exam So take the class and then earn your certification!
