TeamForge 17.4 supports an integration with the Git distributed version control tool powered by Gerrit.
Although Git is the world’s leading distributed version control system, the enterprise
has been slow and tentative in its adoption. Concerned with security breaches, compliance
violations and lack of governance, many organizations have chosen to take a "wait and see"
approach. With TeamForge, Git is ready for the
enterprise. TeamForge lets you realize all the
benefits of Git while ensuring the security, governance and manageability your business
demands. With TeamForge, you can even manage Git and
Subversion together, within each individual project.
Gerrit is an open source code review system designed to work with Git. Gerrit supports various access control mechanisms. The TeamForge Git integration uses Gerrit as a vehicle to bring TeamForge project roles and permissions into Git.
Highlights
- Management of Central Git repository permissions through TeamForge at the branch, repo, project, project hierarchy, Git server and site levels.
- Full protection against source code history rewrites and accidental branch deletions.
- Powerful rules that decide when a commit can be merged into production (quality gate wizard for Gerrit).
- Easy Code Review policies to manage complex Gerrit access rights.
- Universal code search across repositories and servers.
- Highly optimized for servers under heavy load (500k and above requests per day per server; 24 and above parallel fetch requests per minute).
- Thoroughly tested and certified for security standards such as SSAE 16 and PCI-DSS.
- Multiple authentication methods (SSH and http using public keys and TeamForge credentials).
- Automated TeamForge artifact association with Git commits if the artifacts are mentioned in the commit message.
- Embedded source code browsing.
- Seamless navigation including SSO between TeamForge workspace, Gerrit’s review UI, and git repository browser.
- Standard Gerrit APIs to connect with Continuous Integration systems such as Jenkins.
- Detailed push notification emails.
- Native integration into popular IDEs such as Eclipse, NetBeans, Visual Studio, IntelliJ and standalone Git clients such as GitEye.
- Git-Pull-Request-based feature branch development workflow, in addition to the existing individual commit-centric methodology from Gerrit.
