Hi i´am trying to create workflow with git for our company. We use Powerbuilder 10.5 and Powerbuilder 2017 so i intend to keep the workflow similiar.

My current Workflow looks like this. Extern is a tool outside of Powerbuilder and intern are functions inside of Powerbuilder

Extern:

Pull branch from remote repository into new local branch.

Inside: 

Get latest changes to update the pbl

Checkout

Edit

Commit

Extern:

Push to remote 

Pull into Dev/Release

What are your thoughts on that workflow?

I use PushOK as SCS Plugin with PB 10.5. It works  but i have some issues:

• sometimes it crashes
• sometimes it checkouts the entire pbl when i click on a library
• sometimes it rebuilds the whole library

I also tried the plugin from PB Software(https://community.appeon.com/index.php/articles-blogs/tutorials-articles/2-powerbuilder/174-configuring-powerbuilder-projects-to-use-github-for-source-control)

But i couldnt get it to work. I add files to source control  without an error and it shows the correct icon. But it doesnt add anything to git and i get an error if try to checkout a file.

Also the icons turned  back to a plus if i refresh the status.

Thanks,

Ferdinand

Edit:

we will not  be able to fully switch to PB 2017. Maybe in a few years.

Because of that i need something  that works in both versions.

PB 2017  also doesnt support branches, which is the main point of git in my opnion. At least i didnt find a way. 

Thats why my current workflow has commiting in Powerbuilder(Nativ or PushOk) and the rest(branching, pulling, history) in an external tool.

Thats why i wanted to know if anyone else has had experience with PushOk.
