Some users love git and others hate git…Expand. (Bryan here – I’ll give it a shot based on my limited use of Git):
The most common open-source version control system is Git. Some users love its expansive functionality, while others prefer to stay removed from the minute details of merging and branching. There are numerous clients and editors that incorporate Git functionality, and it can be difficult for a development team to find a solution with the exact set of features that they’re looking for.
Flosum’s version control system was built from the ground up to align directly with the Salesforce platform. For example, there are many components that are specific to Salesforce (such as lightning components, static resources, etc.) that don’t translate well to most open-source version control systems. Because the version control system in Flosum is tightly integrated with the Salesforce platform, it understands all of the components in the Salesforce ecosystem.
In addition to using its own native version control system, Flosum can be integrated with open-source version control systems such as Git (including Bitbucket, Github, etc.) and SVN, as well as with proprietary version control systems such as TFS, VSTS, and others. This allows developers to use their existing knowledge of other version control systems and significantly reduces ramp-up time.
