You don't have to use a third party software to connect to this server and start using source control. > > **Cons**: We had somme weird behavior while using this code source control. Probably cause by us but it was desapointing. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/256321/helix-core?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/256321/helix-core) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
