This repository holds all versions of the Buisness Central Apps. The purpose is to quickly be able to compare every version to find changes.
There is one separate branch per country-major version.
Go the one of the w1
branches to find most of the code:
https://github.com/StefanMaron/MSDyn365BC.Sandbox.Code.History/branches/all?query=w1
Check out the country specific branches to view the localized base app. For example DE
:
https://github.com/StefanMaron/MSDyn365BC.Sandbox.Code.History/branches/all?query=de
The repository will automatically update itself from the artifacts once a day:
- Regular/current branches will run at midnight UTC and pull the last 24 hours of artifacts
- vNext/insider branches will run at 2 am UTC and pull the last 24 hours of artifacts
Main differences between the https://github.com/StefanMaron/MSDyn365BC.Code.History repo:
- Builds on sandbox instead of OnPrem artifacts to include hotfixes
- localization branches only include the localized code, so some of them are empty, some just have the base app (Check w1 branches for all the other code)
- the commits are added by pipelines to reduce runtime
- the pipelines will be scheduled to run daily once the initial load is done.
- there will be branches to cover NextMajor/Minor as well (Look out for suffix vNext in the branches)
- the main branch is just holding the scripts, switch branch to see the BC Code
- Because of the crazy number of versions, I did limit this repo to start with 23.5
- to keep the size of this repo at least in some boundaries, I decided to not include any translation files.
To reduce the size of the local clone you can use those commands to clone only the branches you need:
First, clone with those parameters and set it to whatever branch you need:
git clone -b w1-24 --single-branch https://github.com/StefanMaron/MSDyn365BC.Sandbox.Code.History
if you want to add additional branches you can do it like this
git remote set-branches --add origin de-24
git remote set-branches --add origin de-23
git fetch
You can also use wildcards for [remote-branch], e.g.
git remote set-branches --add origin us-*
git fetch
Removing tracking branches is a little more complicated.
First you need to manually edit the .git/config
file and remove the branches in the [remote "origin"]
section
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
url = https://github.com/StefanMaron/MSDyn365BC.Sandbox.Code.History
fetch = +refs/heads/w1-23:refs/remotes/origin/w1-23
fetch = +refs/heads/de-24:refs/remotes/origin/de-24
fetch = +refs/heads/us-*:refs/remotes/origin/us-*
[branch "w1-23"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/w1-23
once thats done you need to delete the local reference of the remote branches like this
git branch -d -r origin/us-23
git branch -d -r origin/us-24
if you had one of those branches checked out locally (a local copy of the branch) you want to delete those as well
git branch -D us-23
git branch -D us-24
and thats it, now git fetch
should not pull the branches anymore
To further reduce the size of your local repository, you can also utilize the --depth
parameter with the git clone
command.
This creates a shallow clone, fetching only the most recent commits up to the specified depth, thereby ignoring the entire history that you might not need.
For instance, to clone only the latest commit (depth of 1), you would use the following command:
git clone -b w1-24 --depth 1 https://github.com/StefanMaron/MSDyn365BC.Sandbox.Code.History
Tip
Using --depth
implies --single-branch
unless --no-single-branch
is given to fetch the histories near the tips of all branches.
Later, you can deepen your clone by 3 commits (or any other number of commits) with git fetch --deepen 3
or convert it to a complete clone using git fetch --unshallow
.
