You might experience issues using other external merge tools. The following merge tools work well with Collaborate: Click External Tools and, from the Revision Control Diff/Merge drop-down menu, select an external merge tool.On the Editor menu bar, select Edit > Preferences.You can set your external merge tool in the preference settings of the Unity Editor: For more information, see In-Progress edit notifications. The prefab acts as a template from which you can create new object instances in the scene. The In-Progress feature can help you reduce conflicts on scenes and prefabs An asset type that allows you to store a GameObject complete with components and properties. You can reduce the occurrence of conflicts by publishing small changes often, and communicating with your teammates. See in Glossary and other files using the YAML format, Collaborate uses Unity’s Smart Merge tool to perform the merge. In each Scene, you place your environments, obstacles, and decorations, essentially designing and building your game in pieces.

Think of each unique Scene file as a unique level. For Scenes A Scene contains the environments and menus of your game. For text files, Collaborate merges files using the currently configured merge tool.

Collaborate automatically attempts to merge files and informs you if the attempt fails due to a conflict. That's fine going forward, but we would have hundreds of packages to update, and it feels like a non-solution, like giving up.A conflict occurs when another team member makes changes to an Asset that you have also changed, and you try to update your Project with those changes. And version control the stored procedures somehow. I'm beginning to think that there is no real solution apart from simply not having any code in those 'Execute SQL' Tasks and just calling stored procedures. And Merging is even worse, straight up impossible without opening both copies of the package designer in visual studio side by side. It makes the diffs basically nothing but noise without custom diff tools apparently. SSIS makes that hard because of how it will alter the xml just for being opened in visual studio or moving some task in the design flow creates changes on many lines of the xml file. And possibly merge files too, but that seems like asking for a lot now. What I want is to be able to use git properly for SSIS packages we build in Visual Studio to diff changes. I'm sure there's gotta be a better solution out there. Yeah, you could just use git diff -color-words='someRegex' to break it up a bit better for seeing diffs and same with merging which works okay. dtsx packages updates, it transforms the linebreaks into the character you can see in the 'SQLStatementSource' xml element.Īnd if you added a single character to that line it would just show that the whole line is changed. How the code looks in the 'Direct Input' menu, showing linebreak characters as actualy linebreaks in the editor. To illustrate, here are some pictures of example code:ġ. This makes it virtually impossible to diff any changes in one of these steps in a package, something I've heard other people have issue with. dtsx file, it onelines the whole SQL script by replacing and CR or LF with the HTML linefeed character. Don't ask me why, I've heard this is bad form but that's what I'm working with and I'm not even sure what the ideal design is.Īnd basically when SSIS turns that into the. Sometimes dozens of 'Execute SQL Task' steps with Direct Input for the SQL scripts that run in sequence. Okay so my company uses Visual Studio to make a lot of SSIS Packages (.dtsx files) which handle a lot of data cleaning and transformation logic.

It contains a null character diffmerge
