How Helix4Git Maintains a Single Source of Truth
Helix4Git ensures a single source of truth across your pipeline. That means you can:
- Accelerate Complex Product Builds
- Maintain a Reliable Audit Trail
- Avoid Duplicating Disaster Recovery Efforts
Accelerate Complex Product Builds
Building and releasing a product typically requires a combination of code and other digital assets. This often means multiple repositories. And the more repositories, the more difficult it is to pull together.
Using Helix4Git with Helix Core adds clarity to your complex product build. You can pull together code from multiple sources — for example, Helix Core, GitLab, and GitHub — into a single workspace. That workspace ensures you build and release faster and easier than you would with native Git alone.
Maintain a Reliable Audit Trail
Using data from multiple sources makes it difficult to create an audit trail. And native Git lacks security and data protection features. This makes it particularly difficult for security-focused and regulated companies to maintain an audit trail.
Combining your Perforce + Git code (from Helix4Git) makes it easy to create and maintain an audit trail for your entire product lifecycle. That’s because it brings the power of Helix Core to all your Git repos. That means you can leverage Helix Core changelists for auditability. Plus, Helix Core is the most securable version control software, with top-notch access control.
Avoid Duplicating Disaster Recovery Efforts
Enterprise companies are required to have a disaster recovery plan for their code repositories. And if your Git code isn’t backed up, you could lose it all.
Helix4Git provides a central server for your Git code. It replicates your repos and backs everything up. As a result, it’s available around the clock. If you’re using Helix Core and you’ve already built disaster recovery processes, you can incorporate your Git code into that existing plan. And you’ll rest assured that your Git data is protected.
