New Branching Support for Your MadCap Central Git Repository Offers Greater Control for Managing Content
New Branching Support for Your MadCap Central Git Repository
Several new enhancements have been made to support branching for your MadCap Central Git repository. Teams can now publish sites and get reviews from any branch and much more.
New Branching Support Features
Reviews on Branches
Now send files from MadCap Flare to individual branches for a review in MadCap Central.
Building Output for Specific Branches
Easily build and publish your output for specific branches, rather than just the main branch.
View Files and Commits for Branches
Verify the files and commited changes for specific branches pushed up from Flare.
Source Control and Branching: The Benefits
Whether you are a lone author, or part of a team, branching offers many benefits. Continuously develop new content while not affecting your main (production) branch used to generate approved content. Use branches as isolated environments to document new features, add new courses or training procedures, etc., and when ready, easily merge the changes to your main branch and deploy to production.
Branching support in MadCap Central is a huge game-changer for us. Having the ability to create a new branch and push it to MadCap Central is going to revolutionize how we manage our projects tremendously. We can now plan and execute documentation and redesign work for significant product updates while maintaining current documentation and agile release content relevant for our end users.

New MadCap Central Git Integration Enhancements in MadCap Flare
Several new enhancements have been added to the UI to support branching, including the display showing the changes to be committed, commits to be synced, as well as the name of the current branch.
