May I know how we can check version control file history in Studio version 8.0. Suppose if we want to see who and what changes had been made as part of one file. I have checked Version control under setting tab. But not sure how to enable?
Similar to what you would do in any other project with Intellij. As long as your project is mapped correctly and the .git file is pointing properly, right click the file within studio >> Git >> Show History. You can then select in Git Log and do various other operations.

Is there a way to change the default file .gitignore that Android Studio creates when creating a new android project? I searched for it in the Settings but could not find anything.
Unfortunately, there is no way to do that automatically, besides the one Ted has mentioned.
However, personally, I don't see this as a big downside, because you can thus safely add your specific templates that fit best to your project.
To be able to do this, do the following:
Go to File -> Settings and from there highlight Plugins. Click on Browse repositories... and you should be able to find the plugin entitled .ignore. Install it.
Now to configure a .gitignore for any project, in case you have no project opened, click on Configure -> Settings. In case you have an open project, go to File -> Other Settings -> Default Settings…. Now expand Version Control and click on Ignore Files Support. You should be able to add a custom user template of your .gitignore-file there.
To use any template you've added there, just right click on your .gitignore and click on Add template…. There you'll be able to add your custom specifications, however, many others are given by default, so you don't need to do a google search for an OS or language specific .gitignore configuration.
Good question. I tried manually modifying the project_ignore template in the Android Studio installation (located at C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\plugins\android\lib\templates\gradle-projects\NewAndroidProject\root in my Windows installation). That works, but it causes any future updates to Android Studio to fail unless you restore the original template first.
I'm posting this as an answer because it works. But it has such a bad down-side that I'm also starting a bounty in the hopes that someone can come up with a better solution.
On Mac, Applications->Android Studio.app(right click -> show package contents) -> contents-> plugins\android\lib\templates\gradle-projects\NewAndroidProject\root\ , i tried modifying, project_ignore file. i dont see error every time while looking for updates. instead of replacing, i appended at the end.
After using a "GetLatestVersion" to retreive my coworker's new project added to Source Control, we realized that the folder structure was incorrect. He deleted the issues on Source Control and everything looked great there. It runs on his end.
Unfortunately for me, even after running the "GetSpecificVersion" and checking all the overwrite boxes, I cannot get the new version of his project on my local workspace.
Ok.
How now do I delete the project on my end without TFS knowing (so I don't have toCheckInanything and TFS doesn't think it needs to bring anything onto the server from my local workspace).
It makes most sense to me to:
- log out of Source Control, close the project and Visual Studio,
- go into my workspace folder and delete the coworker's broken project
- log back into Source Control, bring up the workspace project in Solution Explorer, and re- "GetLatestVersion" and overwrite files.
Has anyone had this problem before? I'm working in VisualStudio 2012
Are you 100% positive that your co-worker did in fact check in all of his changes that "fixed" it? I would start by double checking that. In team explorer, make certain that they do not have any files that need to be checked in under "Excluded Files".
If you have a TFS Build Server, make certain that the CI build (or you can manually run it) was successful. This will at least prove whether TFS has the project buildng correctly.
If you don't have a TFS build server, have another co-worker pull it down to verify that everything got checked in correctly.
If you are sure that they checked in everything ok and it is still not working for you, try pulling it down to a different directory. Also, you can manually delete your copy of the solution through file explorer and then pull it down again (with the overwrite checked).
I have Visual Studio 2012 and when I'm trying to get last version it doesn't work and it says that it's says that "All files are up to date". It is because I deleted file locally after I got it from TFS and I guess in Visual Studios memory it's written that there were no changes from that time I got it and now it doesn't let me download it although I don't have it.
How to "tell" VS that my local folder is changed?
P.S. I guess it can be also done with "Get specific version" but that option doesn't appear to me when i right-click on file I want to get from server.
EDIT:
I found that my workspace changed automatically (or rather with me not being concentrated while making new project), so VS was actually checking other directory all the time. For all those who might have the same problem - check your local path and if you see that it's not good, change it.
Here is how you can change it:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsversioncontrol/thread/d0c6982f-4f5e-4b1c-830b-3af9fb127922/
You are right, TFS saves what version he gaves you and changing/deleting it without to notify TFS, you won't get anything. The "Get Specific Version ..." is what you need. Therefore rightclick on the item you want, in context menu choose "Advanced --> Get Specific Version". Check the second option to "Overwrite all files even if the local version matches the specified version".
Not saying this is a solution, but I had similar issues after remapping one of my projects. Ultimately what I did was delete my local Solution File (.sln) and re-opened the project via the Project File (.vbproj). After that I was able to see all of my latest file versions that appeared to not be down loading. Once you click save on anything it will re-prompt you to save a new solution file.
i don't know if this is specifically what the OP was trying to accomplish, but here's my story: my machine crashed, had to get it reimaged; once VS2015 was installed, i went to source control explorer, right clicked the branch i needed >> Advanced >> Get Specific Version, checked the "Overwrite..." boxes, clicked "Get" and got the "All files up to date..." message. buster. obviously the code was NOT up to date.
fast forward: i fixed this issue by deleting my workspace's pertinent mapping to code base i needed, saved it, and re-added it.
hope this saves some headaches.
You'll want to Get Specific Version and to check the box to enable overwriting of existing files. That will ensure you're actually up to date.
You can also switch from a server worspace to the new local workspace which should also help solve issues like this.
Just wondering if anyone knows how to set a saved publish profile as the default i.e. profile that's automatically loaded when I select publish. I love the new profile approach but I'm a bit over having to reselect the same profile over and over while I'm developing.
In VS2012 and up, you can set the Default Publish Profile by right-clicking on the .xml profile file and clicking the Set As Default Publish Profile option. It will then be auto-loaded when you click to Publish the project.
So I've just discovered how to do this, right click on the specific .xml file (e.g. Debug.publish.xml) that you wish to publish and it is automatically loaded into the Publish panel.
Double clicking the XML file also works
The latest Visual Studio 2012 Updates also now include right click options for:
1 - Set as default
2 - Publish
Rob, you may want to consider setting up some batch files that call SQLPackage to use your desired Publish profile. I blogged about it here: http://schottsql.blogspot.com/2012/11/ssdt-publishing-your-project.html
For our dev team, we have a set of batch files set up that can build one or all databases locally from whatever branch they're currently using. That makes it a lot easier to update the local database. The "Publish All" batch file takes a little time to run but is still better than opening each project individually to publish the databases.
Slightly odd issue: I renamed my .xml file to .localdev.xml....file name is "double extension'd" - VS/Datatools looks for ".publish.xml" NOT just the .xml file. In my case I needed "*.localdev.publish.xml". When it had the wrong name the "Set as Default Publish Profile" right click option DID NOT show up, nor did double-clicking...where is Molder when you need him?!?!? ;)
Get the name right, get the right functionality......MS needs better, more creative QA people!! ;)
Rather than continuing with Winmerge as my tool of choice, I've decided to commit to using the Difference Viewer built into Visual Studio 2012 Premium especially given it uses the edit window providing intellisense and resharper integration.
However, I've noticed that in one solution I compare a local file with latest and I'm allowed to edit the source file. However, in another solution which exists on the same TFS 2010 server but a different project and is checked out to a separate workspace, I'm not allowed to edit the local file.
According to the Visual Studio 2012 Help ("4. The Diff window appears. You can continue to make changes to the file in this window.") I should be able to edit the file if it is local. I will also need to be a member of the Contributors TFS group (I'm actually a member of the Project Administrators group too.)
I've tried running the compare from the command-line too something like "tf difference filename.cs" and compared two local files but they're all still read-only.
Can someone confirm what conditions I need to meet in order for the local file to be editable in the difference viewer?
UPDATE: I'm not sure how I missed this but it would appear that it's .aspx files that can't be edited in any of my solutions!
If you click the Merge button instead of Compare Files, you get a slightly different diff window that lets you edit the local file. Also see the edit in the answer about aspx files.
You can only edit certain file types in the Diff viewer. Example: You can edit .cs, but not .sql files.
