1.1Collaborating with Version Control Systems

1.1.1Browsing Version Control Systems on the Web

CodeBeamer has a built-in interface for SCM systems, and project members can browse the content of the SCM repository. SCM systems such as Subversion, Git & Mercurial are directly integrated, and integration is possible with various other SCM systems via CodeBeamer's API. The browsing capability includes user's requirements for tracking code changes, associating commits with bugs, browsing repository revisions, commits, branches, and tags.

1.1.1.1Browsing Commits (Change Sets)

You can browse commits (changesets) in the SCM Repository browser. When your cursor hovers over the SCM Repository area (tab), you'll see the tooltip menu: select Browse Commits.

You are also able to browse the files stored in the repository using the Repository Browser. This can be found under the SCM Repository tooltip menu (or more menu after SCM Repository tab has been selected) by clicking on Browse Repository.
