Is there a Perforce Plugin

Post by crazydc »

Hello,

I am new to LateX and loving the use of it. Sorry if this in the wrong place for this, but here is my question.

I was just wondering if there was a plugin for Perforce to allow me to version my documents?

Thanks in advance.

Hi crazycd,

I have never heard of perforce before. But besides that what do you mean by plugin? A package? What should it be able to do? Since a LaTeX document is essentially a source code you can version it like any other software source. I use bitbucket and git for example.

Thank you for getting back to me Clemens.

Well Perforce Software is a version control system like GIT. If there is already a GIT integration with Texnic Center that would be great. It is so I can checkout and submit my new version to the server. In Git terminology commit and clone to your repository.

If there is a Git version of this great, please let me know the details to get this. So I can take advantage of Perforce Git fusion.

Thanks,

CrazyDc

Hi again,

I don't know about TeXnicCenter as I don't use it. I use git via the command line usually. Maybe someone else has some more insight wether TeXnicCenter has some direct integration for git.
