Interfacing with Source Control Systems

If you use a source control system (SCS) to manage your files, you can check M-files and Simulink and Stateflow files into and out of the source control system from within MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow.

MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow do not perform source control functions, but only provide an interface to your own source control system. This means, for example, that you can open a file in the MATLAB Editor and modify it without checking it out. However, the file will remain read-only so that you cannot accidentally overwrite the source control version of the file.

Four popular source control systems are supported, as well as a custom option:

• ClearCase from Rational Software
• PVCS from Merant
• RCS
• Visual SourceSafe from Microsoft
• Custom option - Allows you to build your own interface if you use a different source control system
