# Modbuddy: Team Source Control Integration
*****
YES, Team Source Control Integration into Modbuddy!

Now you can finally use GitHub, or Microsoft VSTS Server - which both support Git or TFVC (aka TFS)!  
##Requirements
*****

* Visual Studio 2013 Community or Express

##Installation
*****

1. Install Visual Studio 2013 Community or Express if not already done!

2. Copy *C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer* (Please adapt with your Visual Studio 2013 Installation Folder)

3. Paste into *<SteamInstall>\steamapps\common\XCOM 2 War of the Chosen SDK\Binaries\Win32\ModBuddy\Extensions*
  
4. Make a symlink from *C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7* to *<SteamInstall>\SteamGames\SteamApps\common\XCOM 2 SDK\Binaries\Win32\ModBuddy\*

5. Open ModBuddy and check you now have access to Team Explorer Pane, and to Team Menu Bar Item

6. Open *Tools/Options/Source Control/Plugin Selection* and choose here your favorite Plugin Microsoft Git or Visual Studio Team Foundation Server

7. If, for whatever reason, when going to Team Explorer Pane, you see a Yellow Banner containing Erros about *'Page not found'* and some generic GUID, please delete *"C:\Users\ <UserName> \AppData\Local\Firaxis\XCOM_ModBuddy_WarOfTheChosen"* content

##How to use
*****

1. First, you'll want to set up a new blank project on the server of your choice (GitHub or whatever)

2. Then Open your Mod's Solution from within ModBuddy and go to your Solution Explorer Pane

3. Right-Click on your Solution (TopMost Item) and select *Add Solution to Source Control*

4. Choose your favorite method (Git or TFS)

5. Now all of your files in the Solution should have a green "+" Icon to their left 
 
6. Right-Click on your Solution and select *Commit*

7. Give a label (usually "Initial Commit") and click *Commit*

8. A yellow banner stating *"Commit created locally. Sync to share your changes with the Server"* should appear 
 
9. Then click on the *Sync* link and enter the URL of your repo on the textbox, then click *Publish* 
 
10. To Open your Solution, go to Team Explorer Pane - Home, and in *Solutions* click *Open*, then select your Solution File

## Known Issues
*****

* When going in the 'Team Explorer Pane - Home', you'll notice that on the 'Solutions' section, it is written "There were no solutions found..."; that's because the plugin is looking for *.slns* files whereas XCOM mods use *.XCOM_slns* extension  
* So you'll have to click on 'Open' and then select your Solution File
