What changed in 2017?

EPRI Corporate GitLab Code Repository
EPRI's Corporate GitLab code repository has been integrated with
EPRI's Software
Development Process and is now available to all software development
teams.
GitLab will serve as the code repository for all EPRI software
development
and replace Perforce's role in deploying subscriber websites. The
repository
resides on EPRI's corporate infrastructure, follows all the security
guidelines,
and is backed up daily. GitLab offers a number of benefits including:
- Git repositories
- Automated deployments for subscriber websites currently supported by
SQA
- Issue tracking
SQA is currently in the process of migrating sites from Perforce to
GitLab.
For the remainder of 2017, we strongly encourage that developers migrate
their
sites prior to making new changes. In 2018, Perforce will no longer be
supported
by SQA and GitLab will be required. Contact the SQA
team with any questions, to request access, or to have your site
migrated.
