G'Day Developers!

Frequently developers work on long or difficult features/bugs and leave code checked out for days or worse still weeks.

  1. What happens if your laptop hard drive dies?
  2. What happens if you call in sick?
  3. How can you pair program if not sharing your changesets?

That's why source code will be checked in regularly. We recommend a check-in:

If the changes would break the build or are in a state that cannot be put into the main trunk, then this code will be put into a shelveset (sometimes referred to as 'sandbox') in source control.

Another good reason to check-in regularly is that it makes it easier to merge your changes with other developers. If all developers check-in lots of changes in one go, you will spend a lot of your time resolving conflicts instead of doing work.

TIP: How can you enforce regular check-ins? Monitor them using a report to see who has not checked in.
