My employer still uses VisualSourceSafe6. Everything is checked-in into the main project directory in VSS. They are not using branching in VSS. Check-in's are supposed to be ready for release to QA and should not break the build (not enforced).I want to use git as my local repository so I can track changes per feature (branch) and have history of my changes before I commit them to VSS. I need this because some of the changes might span more than 3-4 days before they can be checked-in to VSS. NOTE: my understanding for some git concepts is very new and might be offbase.After reading these similar questions:Using Git with Visual Source Safe 6.0 How Best Can I Use Git When My Employer Uses VSS? Combine DVCS with Visual Source SafeFollowing is what I was thinking of doing:C:\VSS\ProjectA where I perform VSS specific actions get-latest-version, chechout, and checkin etc. The solution/project file will have bindings to VSS since other developers will still use VSS and some might use git with VSS like me.C:\MY\ProjectAwhere I will be doing my development work and using git workflows.To setup the folders I did:Get latest version from VSS into C:\VSS\ProjectAC:\VSS\ProjectA>git init and C:\VSS\ProjectA>git add ., this becomes my master branchgit clone C:\VSS\ProjectA C:\MY\ProjectA, this becomes my development cloneQ: If I have VSS bindings in my solution/project file, VisualStudio will try and connect to VSS even from my git cloned folder C:\MY\ProjectA. So I need to remove the VSS bindings after cloning, correct?When working on a feature I need to:get latest version from VSS into C:\VSS\ProjectAQ: do I need to commit the changed file to the master git repository?C:\MY\ProjectA>git fetch and C:\MY\ProjectA>git checkout, Q: correct?do whatever branching, commits, merge, rebase etc in my development repositoryget diff of my development repository and master repository and checkout those files in VSSC:\MY\ProjectA>git push, Q: correct?C:\VSS\ProjectA>git checkout, Q: correct?C:\VSS\ProjectA>git commit, Q: correct?checkin changed files to VSSUPDATE it seems git for windows (VisualStudio2015) does not yet support pushing to non-bare local repositories, is there any workaround?
