I cover my approach to tracking what's deployed in a NetSuite account using SDF and source control.

- where to store those snapshots in your repository
- what storing them this way allows you to do
- why you can't expect your main branch to match your Production account

Over the past year, I've worked with many clients on source control usage for NetSuite development; I reflect on those projects, and distill those observations down into actionable advice.
I cover:
- getting started with source control
- choosing a branching strategy
- why you can't expect your main branch to match your Production account
- why source control won't solve your collision problems
- not using your repository as a project management tool
- why I don't want NetSuite to build a source control feature
