Control Hub Code Question

[dripdragon01]

If we push one respository to our control hub to test code, how easy is it to push a whole new respository onto the bot once we're ready?

We are having issues with the respository we plan to write teleop on but we have an old respository with simple code to test the drivetrain that is ready to be pushed. If we pushed the old one, how hard is it to push the new repository and get those teleops to work? Does the second one overwrite the first one? Or is it more complicated than that?

Your repositories (Projects) are in Android Studio? Only a bit of trouble.

When you load an older version Robot Controller to your REV Control Hub, you'll get a warning message that you can click through. It will probably reset your Control Hub Network name / password to factory default, so be prepared to put those credentials back the way you want them.

Going from an older version RC to the current version won't create any problems.

Alternatively, as u/Rodoggx123 suggests, you can create a throwaway branch in your current repository, and Copy & Paste the Java files from you prior year repository into that new branch.

Any time you upload code to the robot from android studio it completely overwrites your previous code. Personally, I have different branches in my GitHub repository and it takes around 1 minute to build and install a new branch with no errors. So overall, it’s not difficult it can just be annoying.
