I created a Visual Studio .net core 3.1 project with visual studio 2019 and Azure Devops. I cloned the ripo master in :

d:\myprojects\myclient\mysolution I created a [bench] branch

Now, I would like to have 2 local folders :

d:\myprojects\myclient\mysolution\master

d:\myprojects\myclient\mysolution\bench

so I can create two web application endpoints.

Is it possible ?

Thanks

For a git repository, it's possible to checkout branches into separate folders. In your case, d:\myprojects\myclient\mysolution is the main working tree with master checked out. You can checkout bench into another working tree,

git worktree add <path_to_bench_worktree> bench

path_to_bench_worktree could be any valid path, for example d:\myprojects\myclient\mysolution_bench.

The 2 working trees share the same git folder, d:\myprojects\myclient\mysolution\.git. You can modify files and commit changes in both working trees, one for master and the other for bench. You can create more working trees when necessary.

When you think a working tree is not needed any more, you can remove it,

# in the main working tree
git worktree remove <path_to_bench_worktree>

You can also remove path_to_bench_worktree first and then in the main working tree,

git worktree prune

  • I think I would have : d:\myprojects\myclient\mysolution\master d:\myprojects\myclient\mysolution\bench d:\myprojects\myclient\mysolution\prod master is the latest version bench the pre prod version prod the current production version So, first I need to move d:\myprojects\myclient\mysolution to d:\myprojects\myclient\mysolution\master – Laurent Perso Jul 29 '20 at 09:46
  • With TFS, when I want to merge code from one branch to another, I first get the latest version of the target code and then I merge the source code into the cilble. The system indicates conflicts. We solve them, we compile and if it works, we check in the target branch. I can't seem to do the same with GIT – Laurent Perso Aug 07 '20 at 20:15
