What Is Source Control in Visual Studio?
Source control in Visual Studio helps you develop and version easier. It organizes and tracks changes to code over time.
P4 + Visual Studio IDE
The P4 Plugin for Visual Studio (P4VS) integrates P4 (formerly Helix Core) with Visual Studio IDE for seamless version control. It fits right into your development workflow. No switching between tools required. From within the Visual Studio interface, developers can login/logout, add, edit, revert, diff, and more.
