Files available for source control
The following schema shows a directory structure for files
in the local PowerBuilder workspace and on the source control server.
File types in the local root path that can be copied to the source
control server from PowerBuilder are displayed in bold print. File
types displayed in normal print are not copied. Asterisks shown
before a file extension indicate variable names for files of the
type indicated by the extension. The asterisk included in a file extension
is also a variable. The variable for the extension depends on the
type of object exported from a PBL,
so it would be “w” for a window, “u” for
a user object, and so on.

server
Typically, the source control server files are stored in a
database but preserve the file system structure. Files in any deployment
configuration directories can be regenerated automatically by building
and deploying the files in the Source directory.
Temporary files in local root path
When you add or check in a PowerScript object to source control, PowerBuilder
first exports the object as a temporary file (*.SR*)
to your local target directory. For some source control systems,
you might choose to delete temporary files from the local root path.
