GIT access

[cct]

I am new to using GIT, so was lookimgh at linking to it. I have onstalled the GIT apps and configured them in preferences. I have created a private repository on GITHub to test
Restarted PSD, but cannot see any reference to GIT operations.

Am I missing something?

BTW I do like the new differences display

Thanks

For Git integration you will need to:

• Have the Git client installed (https://git-scm.com).
• Have TortoiseGit (https://tortoisegit.org) or Git Extensions (http://gitextensions.github.io) installed.

Now you can go to Preferences > Files > Version Control to enable Git integration.

After integration you can use TortoiseGit or Git Extensions to clone your GitHub repository to a local directory and work with it as described in the User's Guide.

but I can not use version control for objects stored in the database?

 

[Marco Kalter]

You will need to have a file representation for that object.

Thanks, getting nearer.

I finally discovered this only seems to work when using projects, so I created a new project, but whenever I enable GIT and add my local repositorty, the project options hangs when I select OK. The last time I left for 25 minutes, so definately not working.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

>> Any suggestions?

As always, run DebugSQL.

 

[Marco Kalter]

It does not only work for projects. It also works from the File Browser and from within Program Windows, SQL Windows, Test Windows, Command Windows and Report Windows.

See chapter 16 in the User's Guide for more information.

About the hang-up, like IvanZ said: To obtain some more diagnostic information, can you modify the PL/SQL Developer shortcut and add the DebugSQL parameter? For example:

"C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer 14\plsqldev.exe" DebugSQL

Reproduce the problem and send me the debug.txt file that is generated in the %APPDATA%\PLSQL Developer 14 directory (e.g. C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\PLSQL Developer 14).

DebugSQL doesnt show anything after the intial login processing that I can see. So plan B - I restart PSD, and create a new TEST project, and save.
I then go back in and set GIT, then add my git direcory. All OK.
Then I try to select anything, and it just hangs. I wuil e-mail you the debug.txt file

Thanks

What exactly do you mean by "I try to select anything"? Did you click on a project item to select it? Did you double-click it?

I just moved the mouse, the I got the spiral...

Actually, I think I have found teh underlying prolem. Not being familiar with GIT, I had opened a file not in the repository working directory, then was trying to access the repository.

Opening from the repository, it seems to work OK, albeit very slow - 3 or 4 seconds just to get the pop-up menu, then the GUI wass very slow. I think I will stay with RCS from the command line for now - at least that works and is flexible.

Thanks
