Git Interface Settings Window

The Git Interface Settings window is used to control how OpenInsight and Git interact. The settings for the current OpenInsight application are automatically loaded.

These settings are stored in the SYSENV table with the key of CFG_RTI_IDE_X*appId*userId*machineId (fields 49-60).

Note: OpenInsight Git will only push entities that are flagged as publishable in the OpenInsight repository. If you want to keep some source in your OpenInsight system but not push it out to Git then untick the publishable flag.

General:

Git Enabled: Must be set to True in order to utilize Git with OpenInsight.

Git Repository Location: Select the directory where your Git repository is located.

Enter in the path to the directory you created earlier that holds your empty Git repository, C:\Revsoft\Git\star

NOTE: The first location is used to automatically push changes from OpenInsight to the Git repository via the OpenInsight repository hooks.

Git Repository Folder Name: Enter in the name you want to use for the directory in Git that stores your OpenInsight source. If this is blank then the default name of "oirepository" is used.

The following replaceable keywords are available here:

%APPID% - replaced with the current application Id

%USERNAME% - replaced with the current OpenInsight username

Use this setting to customize how your OpenInsight source is stored within your Git repository. For example, if you wanted to have one Git repository and store source code for multiple OpenInsight applications in it, then you could change this value to be something like %APPID%\oirepository.

Then your Git repository would have a sub directory for each of your applications like this:

c:\Revsoft\Git\abcco\myapp1\oirepository

c:\Revsoft\Git\abcco\myapp2\oirepository
