So when I fix a bug or a feature or whatnot, I shelve it and create a code review for my lead, then I undo pending changes on the sln and work on the next task until the review comes back. Then I shelve what I'm working on, unshelve my reviewed code change whatever I need to depending on my lead's comments and check in. I then unshelve what I was working on and continue. I don't know about others but sometimes I'm working on a large change that is lower priority and another change comes up that is higher priority and so I shelve my work and do whatever needs done first.
Also as Fish pointed out shelving backs up your code. Nothing worse than losing all your work especially right before it is done. My team shelves code when they want to share something with another developer without having to check in that code vacation, vetting prototype, building one change set on multiple machines, etc.
I also have some developers that use it in order to build up a few change sets usually independent and small so they can ask one person for multiple code reviews all at the same time. Team lead will review code and if approved will apply the Dev shelf and send a reply email to DEV to test the changes in the Test environment. Dev runs test cases in test Environment and if everything is according to the desired results, then Dev notify the user coordinator or Business analyst for Project as ready for UAT.
Yes, it's about being able to check things in and go home, but it's also so that you can set down new work at a point where that work isn't ready to be committed, so that you can work on other things in the same solution. The example for this is having to set down new development in order to address a bug. You can shelve the new development, pick up the released version, address the bug, and then return to your new development.
I have been using shelving the same way I use stashing in Git. I need to put my current work aside in order to fix something else first. Once this fix has been made, I can resume where I was. This fix could be a critical bug fix I say 'could be', because I have never actually had to, but it would be a valid reason.
Rather, I have mostly done this because I identified a refactoring that should be made. I would never work on both the refactoring, and the new feature on the same time, and check them in in the same changeset.
The next windows asks us to provide shelvset name and comments as well as choice of deselecting files from shelving if not required. Shelve Files. Unshelving is very similar to shelving. Unshelve File. Pressing on Unshelve button will initiate process or retrieving file from the Source Control and Checking out all files affected by this Unshleving for editing.
If you un-check the "Preserve shelveset on server" check-box then your shelveset will be automatically deleted after you successfully unshelve it - which is a quite handy if slightly hidden feature. It's good practice to delete the shelvesets when you no longer need them.
Not only will it get rid of clutter for you, it will also help when another person is trying to unshelve something that you have placed there for them. Great tip!! One question, is there a way to perform the delete of the shelve in an automatic way?
A politic or something? Hi i need urgent help as i unshelved only 1 file and by mistake unchecked check box -'Preserve shelveset on server' so after uncheck of single file my whole changeset has gone!!
I do not know of a way of recovering the contents of a shelveset after deleting it - but I'll ask around and see if anyone else knows. I have one question. Is there a way we can unshelve pending changes if we know only shelveset name and don't know owner name. Sharing Changesets : If you want to share a changeset of code without checking it in, you can make it easy for others to access by shelving it.
This could be used when you are passing an incomplete task to someone else poor soul or if you have some sort of testing code you would never EVER check in that someone else needed to run. Saving your progress : While you're working on a complex feature, you may find yourself at a 'good point' where you would like to save your progress. This is an ideal time to shelve your code. Usually you bang on it, iterating every possible kludge you can think up until it looks right.
However, once it looks right you may want to try and go back in to cleanup your markup so that someone else may be able to understand what you did before you check it in. In this case, you can shelve the code when everything renders right, then you are free to go and refactor your markup, knowing that if you accidentally break it again, you can always go back and get your changeset. Any other uses? Improve this answer. Steve Chambers When shelving a changeset one can either preserve the pending changes locally useful for 2 or 3 or not useful for 1 — dumbledad.
The Visual Studio documentation on shelving has some additional context and how to information. It is also used by a Gated build to store the changes until a final commit can be done. One thing I noticed is that Shelving changes doesn't necessarily revert code, nor does it change the state of the files to checked in. So whilst you are working on these e. PineCode Yes, that could definitely be the case. Possibly your code changes and the bug are unrelated, but to be sure you usually want to work from the same code where the bug is being reported — TJB.

If you create a shelf, other people doing a get latest won't see your code. It puts your code changes onto the server, which is probably better backed up than your work PC.
