Description

Castellum is a powerful developer tool that allows you to migrate your source-code repositories from Microsoft SourceSafe to Git repositories with ease. This application preserves the author and date of each modification, and individual modifications across multiple files are grouped into unique modifications, making it easy for developers to track changes.

With its wizard-like graphical interface, Castellum eliminates the need to build from source code or hack into XML-configuration files. You won't have to debug VSS bugs either. The application can circumvent many SourceSafe flaws that break other applications while reading some files.

One of the best things about Castellum is that it does not require a SourceSafe Administrator. You can import the whole SourceSafe repository or import only selected projects as per your requirements. The application removes SourceSafe bindings kept inside Microsoft Visual Studio project files, making it easier for developers to work on their projects without any hassle.

Castellum also allows you to ignore large binary files or migrate only their latest version, which saves time and resources. Additionally, you can merge multiple SourceSafe repositories with this tool seamlessly.

The software supports Source Safe repositories of any size, so no matter how big your repository is, Castellum will handle it efficiently without compromising on quality or performance.

Migrating from one version control system (VCS) to another can be a daunting task for developers who are used to working with one particular VCS for years. However, with Castellum's user-friendly interface and advanced features like preserving author and date of each modification and grouping individual modifications into unique ones make this process much more manageable than ever before.

Whether you're an experienced developer looking for an efficient way to migrate your codebase from Microsoft's outdated VSS system or just starting out in software development industry - Castellum has got everything covered! With its intuitive interface and powerful features designed specifically for migrating source-code repositories between different systems - there's no better choice than this amazing tool!

In conclusion, if you're looking for a reliable solution that simplifies migration between different version control systems while preserving all important data such as file history and labels - look no further than Castellum! It's an excellent choice whether you're working on small-scale projects or large enterprise-level applications where every second counts!
