Get a workspace from Git – PB Docs 2017

To get a PowerBuilder workspace from the Git source control
system:

1. Right-click “No Workspace” in the System Tree and select
   Connect to Workspace from the pop-up menu

   or

   Select Connect to Workspace from the File menu.

   The Connect to Workspace dialog box displays. If the login
   information has been input before, they will be filled in
   automatically.

2. Select Git from the Source Control System list.

   Input the URL of the Git source control server and the name
   of an existing repository on the server.

   Type in your user name and password for the Git source
   control system.

   Type or select a path for the local root directory. All the
   files that you add to or get from source control must reside in
   this path or in a subdirectory of this path.

   Input the author name and author email.

   If using proxy server

   If using the proxy server, configure the proxy server IP
   address and port number in the PB.ini file (by default, the INI
   file is located in
   C:Users<username>appdatalocalappeonpowerbuilder
   17.0 in Windows 7 or later). Copy the following section to the
   INI file and set the appropriate value for the proxy
   server:

   [SourceControlProxy]

   Url=192.0.0.88

   Port=80

   Username=

   Password=

   Timeout=10

   

3. Click Test Connection, and click OK when connection is
   successful.

   PowerBuilder starts downloading the workspace from the Git
   source control system, and after the workspace is successfully
   downloaded, it will be loaded in the PowerBuilder IDE
   automatically.

   When Refresh is needed

   If you are not sure whether the PBL file on the source
   control server is the latest or not, it is recommended you do a
   Refresh manually (by right clicking the workspace and selecting
   Refresh from the popup menu).
