Usage of git.heindl-solutions.com

Introduction

On demand, we provide a private and secured version control service for our customers during software development. For this we use git combined with a Continuous Integration build powered by GitLab CE. Advantages are:

Simple access to our provided source code.
Keep up to date with our development progress easily.
Contribute your own source code changes without the fear of breaking something.
Maximum interaction with our customers during development and testing of a project.
Save all source code and all development history locally at your company.
