When to check in files

It is good practice to check in your files regularly, such as at the end of the week, or even at the end of the day.

While practices differ among development teams, even within the same company, it is good practice to check in your files when:

• You have made substantial changes to the checked-out file.
• Other team members need access to your file when, for example, they would like to perform a test build.
• When you foresee being out of the office.
