Hello everyone,

All we are typing a lot of lines in our project and some times we
adding some codes / functions in hurry.
When coding in hurry can be forget our code details like as "when I
created this function".

Is it possible to keep a history of the code of the project?

Delphi has got some options but it saves last 10 builds but I want to
see daily changes of project.

Like as:


Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i   TForm1 =
class(TForm)  private    { private declarations }  public    { public
declarations }    function getvals(s:string):string;  // 05.10.2015
 --> it can be add when I press ctrl+shift+c  end;...function
TForm1.getvals(s: string): string; // 05.10.2015begin  result :=
'';end;  

When I changed that code on an other day:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i   TForm1 =
class(TForm)  private    { private declarations }  public    { public
declarations }    function getvals(s:string;n:integer):string;  //
05.10.2015,06.10.2015 --> it can be add when I press ctrl+shift+c
again  end;...function TForm1.getvals(s: string;n:integer): string; //
05.10.2015,,06.10.2015 begin  result := '';end;  
It is just an idea about code managing of Lazarus.

Have a nice coding.

Put your project under version control.

I thinks he wants, an svn integration in lazarus, which is good idea
-I guess-

Never code in a hurry....

Lazarus also does backups, and you can set hew many and where (explore
the options).
However since the project is saved for each compile, that does afaik
each time create a backup.

As already suggested version control. (git/svn). Really good, but you
must remember to commit regularly.

Other options.

Define a "code template" (option menu) to create the new function.
(and a 2nd for procedure)
Code: [Select]function $param(Name)($param( )): $param(Type); //
$Date()
you can assign it to enter the word(part) func, then hit ctrl-j

Your new function should have a date.


You can play with editor macros/pascalscript too, but that is a long
shot.
You can intercept the ctrl-shift-c, by reassigning it to a macro, and
then the macro calls the original function (and does whatever else)
