It’s here! AccuRev today announced Kando, the seamless integration of Git with the AccuRev server. Everyone at AccuRev is incredibly excited about it.
As many people know (and as we discussed here last week), Git is increasing in popularity among developers working in small groups or collaborating on open source projects. It’s also fast, flexible, and full of developer-friendly features. But when it comes to using Git in an enterprise, the size and complexity of these environments can make it difficult to secure and manage the software development process.
What makes Kando different from other Git integrations?
Take a look at the diagram below. With Kando, Git developers push and pull from real Git repositories. Kando takes all changes pushed to these repositories and replicates them on the AccuRev server. Furthermore, any changes made in AccuRev streams that are mapped to Git repositories are replicated in their respective repositories. This means Git users can just do a pull to get those changes, which allows Git users to continue using Git as usual without interacting with AccuRev, if they choose not to.
How does Kando benefit Git development environments?
Kando enables the flexibility of Git and the security of AccuRev by providing:
- Support for enterprise authentication via LDAP and Microsoft Active Directory
- Fully integrated issue tracking system and Software Change and Configuration Management (SCCM) through change-based development with AccuRev Change Packages
- User and group-based access control security measures
- Visualization of development processes using Git through the AccuRev StreamBrowser
- Seamless integration of Git into an AccuRev environment
Take a look at how it works:
