Dynamics 365: Learn in doing

Today I found a very nicely written article from Hamza Abid. Which I would like to share in here for future references.  https://www.confiz.com/blog/modernizing-version-control-for-d365-a-step-by-step-guide-to-git-configuration-migration/ I will quickly put the high-level text / guidance shared by Hamza in here as well.  GIT Configuration:  Create new repository Select GIT as your repository type and select the check box "Add a README."

Right click on the main branch and click on "New local branch...

Change is probably the only constant in the technology landscape we live in, and the way we manage code for Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (D365 F&O) is no exception. While many of us built our foundations on Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC), Microsoft has clearly indicated that the future belongs to Git. This shift represents more than just a change in tooling; it’s a fundamental change in how we collaborate, manage history, and integrate our code. Let's delve deep into the key differences between these two systems from a Dynamics perspective. The Centralized vs. Distributed Architecture The core difference lies in their fundamental architecture. TFVC is a Centralized Version Control System (CVCS) . Think of it like a bank vault. You (the developer) check files out from the central server to your workspace, make changes, and then check them back in. The history lives primarily on that server. To understand the past or collaborate with others, you must be connected ...
