Three Plug-and-Play Options With Helix4Git
Helix4Git stores and organizes multiple native Git repos in a high-performance Helix server. This supports thousands of repositories, millions of files, and hundreds of replicas.
Watch your build performance improve dramatically. Prepare for 80 percent faster builds that take up 18 percent less storage. Plus, Helix4Git integrates with the build tools you’re already using.
- Mirror Existing Git Hosts and Enterprise Servers
- Migrate Users and Assets Into Helix4Git
- Integrate Helix Core and Helix4Git
Migrate Users and Assets Into Helix4Git
Migrate users and assets from your existing Git server(s) and give your global teams faster file-sharing capabilities and higher-quality builds. Now you can share code across your enterprise. Developers can still use the same Git workflow, but with faster operations (clone, pull, and fetch).
You can merge your Git Cloud and Enterprise Git Servers into one place for a single source of truth. Global teams can merge, build, and code all at once using Edge servers. Get ready to check files in and out without the WAN-wait.
Integrate Helix Core and Helix4Git
Bring Git users and their assets into your existing Helix Core infrastructure and build pipeline. You can give developers whatever solution they prefer. Perforce fans can continue using Helix Core with its file-locking and exclusive-checkout benefits. And, Git loyalists can enjoy faster operations (clone, pull, and fetch) at remote sites. Win-win.
Helix Core’s high-performance server merges with Helix4Git to support all of your development needs. Now you can manage of all your code – including large graphics and binaries – better than Git LFS. Plus you have access to all your build artifacts.
Git LFS Isn’t Manageable at Scale
Git LFS is a decent solution for large file storage. But one thing we hear consistently – it’s not manageable. There are still business needs that make the Git tool stack fall over.
Installing Git LFS on every server or repo is time-consuming. And even after it’s installed, there’s no visibility and little control. The “solution” breaks down if some developers don’t have the LFS extension, and there are added steps that must be maintained with build runners.
Perforce is known for Helix Core’s ability to handle large files. It’s a native capability – not an add-on – and it’s bulletproof.
