where to store those snapshots in your repository

what storing them this way allows you to do

Over the past year, I've worked with many clients on source control usage for NetSuite development; I reflect on those projects, and distill those observations down into actionable advice.

I cover:

getting started with source control

choosing a branching strategy

why you can't expect your main branch to match your Production account

why source control won't solve your collision problems

not using your repository as a project management tool

why I don't want NetSuite to build a source control feature
