Centralized development

Rather than working in parallel and occasionally merging, it can be

8

 

useful at times to work in lockstep, i.e. for multiple people to

9

 

be continuously committing changes to a central location, merging

10

 

their work with the latest content before every commit.

11

 

 

12

 

This workflow is very familiar to users of central VCS tools like

13

 

Subversion and CVS. It is also applicable to a single developer

14

 

who works on multiple machines, e.g. someone who normally works

15

 

on a desktop computer but travels with a laptop, or someone who

16

 

uses their (Internet connected) home computer to complete office

17

 

work out of hours.

18

 

 

19

 

If centralized development works well for your team already, that's

20

 

great. Many teams begin using Bazaar this way and experiment with

21

 

alternative workflows later.

Even if your team is planning to use a more distributed workflow, many

31

 

of the tasks covered in this chapter may be useful to you, particularly

32

 

how to publish branches.
