I'm in the process of migrating my PB 10.5 applications to Appeon Powerbuilder and want to use the new Git source control features.  My test migration project has 2 targets but when I add Source Control on the workspace only the first target looks like it is added.  The second target has the green crosses next to the file names but it doesn't let me commit anything in that target.  Also it seems that Powerbuilder is much slower editing these projects now that I have added source control, particularly the second target.

My question is, does Powerbuilder add all the targets to source control?

Should adding source control slow Powerbuilder down?

Hi Daryl,

 

PowerBuilder can support more than one Target with Git; and PowerBuilder should not slow down when connecting to Git. PB Git functions are developed based on GitHub. Please use Gitbub to verify.

Thanks for the reply. I've had another look at my project and I think it didn't work properly because it seems all the targets need to be in a directory at the same level or below the .pbw file which is where it creates the .git folder. Is that a limitation of how Powerbuilder creates the .git repo?



Originally I had this type of folder/file structure



c:\projects\project1



c:\projects\project2



The projects.pbw file was in c:\projects\project1 and it had targets in both c:\projects\project1 and c:\projects\project2.  Only the files in the c:\projects\project1 target were added to git.  When I moved the projects.pbw file to c:\projects it added both targets to git.
