Get a workspace from Git – PB Docs 2019

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.

   Select an authentication type: basic or token.

   Type in your user name and password (or token) for the Git
   source control system.

   Type or select a path for the local root directory in the
   “Checkout Directory” box. 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.

   Select the “Refresh all PBLs with the source code after
   download” option to refresh all PBLs after downloading the source
   code from workspace if you are unsure whether the PBLs are updated
   with the latest source code.

   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 [version]
   in Windows 8.1 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.

   Note

   After you get a workspace which was added to Git using a
   third-party tool such as TortoiseGit (not by PowerBuilder IDE),
   the objects will be marked with this icon which means the objects are not yet under
   source control in PowerBuilder IDE, so you should commit the
   entire workspace from the PowerBuilder IDE to Git to add it
   under source control.
