Does anyone recommend a version control software?
[URL="https://git-scm.com/download/win"][B]Git[/B][/URL] is probably the most popular version control system.
I had just downloaded it to take a look :)
Thanks
If you haven't, see my blog on [URL="https://support.dataaccess.com/Forums/entry.php?92-Using-Source-Control-with-Visual-DataFlex"]Using Source Control with DataFlex[/URL].
Todd (or anyone), is GIT faster than Vault (or should I say not as slow as Vault)? Been using Vault for years but it seem like it has gotten very (VERY) slow. Would be interesting in hearing if anyone had some feed back on it.
Thanks

Our Vault is pretty fast.
Git offers additional features Vault doesn't, rather than being 'faster'.
Dennis - Seems like when I check a file in or out, it take 5 to 8 seconds to do it's task. Not sure why, we don't have anything other than our DF stuff in it. Generally on 2 people connected to it.

Hi,
Git is cool, but I think it can be a tad overwhelming at times. Especially when you don't use it often.
With multiple developers, especially if your team is more than a few developers then it is probably the better choice.
Personally I prefer subversion, IMO it is easier to grasp on how it works.
I wrote an article about it (long ago) here:

There's articles on both Git as well as Subversion on [URL]http://dataflex.wiki[/URL]
But unfortunately that wiki is dead.
How about it Mike? Can you fix it? Perhaps we should ask Bob the Builder for getting the wiki back up ;)
PS: Never seen Vault being slow either.

Mark,
Could it be the MSSQL server that is used by Vault that makes the actions slow?

I have been dilatory about this, I'm afraid - pressure of other work.
I initially spent half a day trying to work out what was wrong, but everything I looked at seemed OK - it just wasn't actually working. I have revisited it periodically since, but have not been able to spend the time to dig into it again in depth.
The problem is that it seems to have lost its external IP address, for no obvious reason. We didn't change anything, so it is hard to know what to try to fix. :(
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
It is running on a t2.micro AWS Linux instance and as I say, just seemed to lose its Public IP address of 52.19.28.87. It is still showing that, but nothing will route to it. I can access it through its Private IP address (which I'm not sure I should make public here).
