Makes sense - thank you for describing the use-case

@Timothy Leavitt - I may be able to answer my own question here ... are the additional benefits the visual branch UI that is build into the IDE and the package manager awareness?

Thanks @Timothy Leavitt for that detail.  In what way will these hooks be superior to the existing client-side VSCode hooks for Git?  I am interested in understanding the additional benefit for local instance work

Great job @Timothy Leavitt and team!! This been a significant need for some time in order to support organizations that work in a shared-dev model, as well as those looking to connect the source controlled SMP pages to Git.  I look forward to seeing how this enables out community to make more thorough use of source control!  

Please Note - the CCR Tier 1 Training which is a prerequisite for this Certification is being offered online at the end of November:

https://community.intersystems.com/post/ccr-tier-1-virtual-training-november-30-december-2

Please make sure to sign up if you can use a refresher :)

I would encourage anyone who is implementing or maintaining a CCR-controlled system to consider taking this course!  Sam does an excellent job and if you haven't gone through the ICC material in a while I can promise that you'll walk away with new learning and be better equipped to use CCR to increase productivity and decrease risk to your applications.  

Please also note that this course is the prerequisite to the CCR Certification exam which will soon be available for beta testing: https://community.intersystems.com/post/beta-testers-needed-our-upcoming-ccr-technical-implementation-specialist-certification-exam

So take the class and then earn your certification!

@Herman Slagman  - FYI ... we will be making full kits available for the 2021.2 CD (Continuous Delivery) release.  Stay tuned for more announcements coming this month about the Preview for that release.  

I completely agree @Robert Cemper - already found a use for it on my team today :)

Thanks @John Murray  - I will check out that option too!

Standard kits are also available via download.InterSystems.com and evaluation.InterSystems.com

Thank you @Julian Matthews !!  Installed and I look forward to using it and sharing with others as well.  Much appreciated :)

@Julian Matthews - Off-topic  question:  Your screen-capture snippets really helped to quickly illustrate your issue as well as the solution once you found it.  This is an incredibly effective way to communicate - what tool to you use to capture these?  

Well done @Pravin Barton !!  Thank you for getting this out the door.

I want to note for our readers that the new Community Edition download in Evaluation is intended to replace our long-standing download.InterSystems.com application.  So I would encourage all users of the Download application to give this new feature of Evaluation a try and let us know if you have any issues.  We intend to retire Download by the end of the year.  

you can edit the article as long as you are the original author.  Thanks again for the great write-up!

Could you please paste in the compiled code for zGo+181^mb.MbMainOperation.1 and the code preceding it?

what sort of reformatting are you looking to do?  Like command expansion that Studio offers or something else?  

@Nigel.Salm5021  - a LOT of thought and time went into this ... thank you for sharing!

I am curious, have you considered publishing a working copy of this code to the Open Exchange?  Any particular reason that you haven't shared it in that way?

Small suggest - use $zf(-100) rather than $zf(-1) as it is more secure and $zf(-1) is not supposed to be used anymore (it is kept in place for backward compatibility but it really is deprecated for use in new code)

I agree Robert - I think ObjectScript, SQL and Embedded Python of the potential of a very powerful trifecta for customer logic (close to the data), data access, and re-usable library access!
