Visual Source Safe

Visual Source Safe provides management and control of software development assets. Integration with design, development, build, test, and deployment tools provides a comprehensive solution for controlled access to software assets across the full lifecycle.

The VSS plug-in only allows a limited interaction with Visual Source Safe, where you may specify the location of the repository, and write any custom access and browse instructions that your users may find useful to access your repository. GForge does not create blank VSS repositories for your project, nor control who can access them or link items to the Tracker.

• Note: Select the VSS Skeleton type in the Project Admin page.
