Hi everyone

I'm going on to my project to use PB and GIT.

This is the situation:

I create my profile in 'https://github.com'

I create a new cartel in my disk

I put inside: workspace, *.pbl and all i need.

I use 'git init'

I push all to my git hub

I go to my WS for put uid and pwd.

Some questions:

1) in github i see my *.PBL and not the single export files

2) i saw that the files is under 'ws_objects' cartel ( in my disk),  but i don't saw that cartel in 'github'. Why ?

3) i modify an object. I do a commit from object or library or project, i do a push from the WS (is correct that the push is only on WS ). Nothing appare on github because i have an error in pb message windows ( see after ) why ?

 ---------- Source Control
Git push
Starting to push workspace...
Git client is pushing workspace. Please wait...
Git client error: Generic error..
Failed to push workspace.
Git push
 ---------- Done Source Control

some help ?

thy all

p.s.

After change source code ( ad save) if i check with 'git status' i see that there is a modify.

Is there something that i have to know before installing GIT?

( version, 32 or 64 bit ,  ..... )

When you use your version control system only on your local network or VPN you can use an the standalone git installation for windows.

When you working with an team without an local network or VPN you can use paid version like GitHub or Bitbucket.

If your searching only for an GUI for your local git repo you can use SourceTree (www.sourcetreeapp.com).

Hi GMY,

I started testing PB 2017 R2 with native Git integration a couple of days ago. My setup:

• "Global Git repo" :: Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS)
• "Local tools" :: Git for Windows (link on provided by VSTS on my Git repo home page)

It worked out of the box when I got my password right and set PB workspace name = Git project's name in VSTS.

Others may favor other Git tools.

A couple of suggestions:

Bonobo Git Server:  https://bonobogitserver.com/  
Free, and asy to set up, and uses web based admin.  You'd could up an running in a few minutes.

GitHub:  https://github.com/
Let them host your repository for you so you don't have to maintain it.  General use is free, but open to the public.  Paid customers can host private repositories though.
