Setting up a project in source control
The following procedure takes you through the steps of creating Microsoft Visual
SourceSafe project, and then adding ColdFusion Studio project files to source control.
You can adapt this procedure to work in your particular development environment.
Visual SourceSafe uses the term "project" to refer to a distinct set of files stored in its
database, so this procedure uses the term "VSS project" to distinguish it from a
ColdFusion Studio project.
All the source control commands are available by right-clicking in a project.
To access project files from Visual SourceSafe:
1. Create a VSS project.
2. Use the File > Set Working Folder command set the root folder for editing project
files.
3. Open the project that you want to add to source control.
4. Right-click on the project root in the Projects tab and select Source Control >
Choose Source Control Provider.
A list of source control application detected on your system appears.
5. Select from the Provider dialog box.
6. Right-click the project root and select Source Control > Map Project To Source
Control.
You might be required to login to VSS at this point.
7. Use the VSS File > Add Files command to add the contents of your work directory
to the VSS project folder.
Use the VSS Tools > Options dialog box to set file handling rules, views, and other
commands.
Once the relationship between the source control application and your project is
established, you can right-click in the project files list to manage check-out, check-in,
and other operations without having to open the source control application.
