Introduction
Blueriq version management helps you keep track of and provide control over changes to your models. Version Control Management (VCM) is the management of changes to projects. It ensures that multiple business engineers can make different changes without interfering with each others work, that there always is a releasable version of the project and that the project can be released, even if not all features have been implemented.
User roles may apply to version management, for instance privileges to create or modify branches.

Repository
A Repository can be viewed upon as a sort of file folder where all your application development is stored.
If you are authorized to do so, you can create, edit and delete a repository. This can all be done from the navigation panel.
A repository has the following characteristics:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Name of the repository, e.g. the functional name of your application |
| Initial branch type | The branch type is optional and could be helpful for structuring your repository or for applying user roles. |
| Initial branch | The first branch, e.g. "Trunk" |
| Initial commit message | Message to register the creation of the repository, e.g. "Create repository" |
Branch
A branch is a version or duplication of a certain state of your application, for instance to be able to apply modifications to your application in an isolated environment or to isolate it as a release version. When creating a new repository an initial branch has to be created.
Creating a new branch:
- Is done when creating a repository
- Can be done from the navigation panel, using the context menu (use the three dots or right click on a branch)
- This duplicates the latest commit of the selected branch. Pending changes will not be available in the new branch.
