Part 4: Source Code Control
If you have Perforce or
CVS installed and are running
Komodo Professional, you can take advantage of Komodo's source code control (SCC)
integration. You can use the SCC features to check files in and out of the source
code repository and to compare files in the editor against their repository versions.
This part of the tutorial assumes that you have either Perforce or CVS
installed on your machine. For instructions on configuring Komodo's source code
control integration, see the Source Code
Control section of the Komodo User Guide.
- Select File|Open|File. Use the Open File
dialog box to navigate to a file in your local directory that is under source
code control, and click Open. The file will open in the
Editor Pane. Notice the padlock icon on the file indicating that the file
status is read-only.
