I am in the process of figuring out how GIT will work for our custom department.  Without going into all the details I need a repository for every customer that has custom code. I am wondering if there is a way when adding all the objects to source control for the first time to have it create the Repository too.

Now that I am able to finally push the code I see a message at the bottom of the Login that the Remote Repository must be created first...I went ahead and tried anyway...

Chris (or anyone else) - were you able to create it from here?

You may follow the instructions in the link below to try out this feature.

Note: You don't need to use Push or Pull functions if you just want to work locally. But if you need to work in a team or want to have a backup of your code, you will need a Git Server and create a repository there. And then you can sync your local repository with the server within PB after your add the URL and credentials.

We work in a team so we will need to use the Git server. Would it be possible for the final release to have PB create the repository when first adding to source control? We have over a thousand customers with custom code and each one will have their own repository. It would make it much more streamlined if this could be done all in one step within PB.

The repository is already created on your local machine after you add to source control. You just need to create a bare repository on the Git Server so you can push or sync your local repository to the server.

Each Git repository has a unique link and you can't nest one Git repository inside another. So I don't think there is a way to automate this process. Of course, there might be someone who may have a solution for this but I am quite sure it is not something that can be implemented in PowerBuilder IDE itself.

I just noticed something - your workspace has a different icon than mine...

 

So I deleted the workspace and went into 'New' to create one from scratch...

 

But after it comes back...

It goes back and I still do not have an option to 'Add to Source Control'! What is going on?!?!

And who said that you can't teach an old dog new tricks ... LOL ... oh wait a minute - I'm an old dog too! ;-)

FYI: There is an enhancement ticket in the support system to add SCC to the Library Painter.

Hmmm .. the System tree should display the new Workspace icon. It's been that was since PB 2017Rx for me on W10.

What the ?!?. So after testing the Git add to source I then closed my PB because I had to go back to my development workspace to check on something and poof! now the icon is correct. This makes no sense. Whatever, its working now so I will carry on. Thanks for all the input!

Hi Chris;

  That is the same edition that I am using to test GIT SCC ...

Chris: Does this work on any other developers IDE installation / machine?

Regards .. Chris

Yes - Each customer has its own workspace. Since we have over a thousand customers with custom code I don't want a single repository to bring in all those customers.  But as new customers come on I want it to be simple to have a developer add all the code without having someone create the repository first.

Universal. This is very frustrating. I can't get past the first step. Can you find out from a developer why this would not show?

Hi Chris;

   Each WorkSpace can point to a different GIT repository. Do all your various customer's have their own WS for each variation of the same PB App?

Regards ... Chris
