CloudTest Version Control FAQ
Q1: If I version a folder, does it version everything in it?
Q2: Does CloudTest version the permissions for the folder?
Q3: If I change the filters of a widget on a dashboard or the widgets on a dashboard that is open, will that get versioned?
Q4: How is seed data stored in Git?
Q5: Baseline is stored with composition, so would restore change baseline?
Q6: What happens if I import something into the path that is under version control?
Q7: What happens if I duplicate versioned objects?
Q8: What happens if I delete an objects under versioning?
Q9: When I clone a Git repository, what kind of URLs it supports?
Q10: Do I have any action item if I update the URL in my repository information?
Q11: How can I find out whether I am up to date between the local and remote repository?
Q12: Can I interact with the Git repository by using a command line?
Q13: If I have multiple Git repositories that are pointing to the same URL, does it mean that Git will have one branch for each repository?
Q14: What is the workflow for a scenario where two users want to update two different assets of the same repository?
Q15: How are multiple branches within Version Control supported?
