The Git Client IDE extension enables developers working with Git to access Dimensions CM repositories. Visual Studio executes Git commands that are redirected to the Git Client, which synchronizes the changes with a Dimensions CM repository.
How it works:
Clone a stream from Dimensions CM and populate the master branch in a Git repository with the tip of a stream.
Use the fetch and pull commands to update a local Git repository with changes from Dimensions CM. When you pull changes, each CM changeset becomes a commit in a local Git repository.
Push changes from a Git repository to Dimensions CM. Each Git commit becomes a Dimensions CM changeset, including the user ID and timestamp.
The extension supports these features:
View Dimensions CM or external requests
Set or remove a default working request
Relate a request to a Git commit
Open request in browser
Username/password or SSO authentication
Note: This extension uses Dimensions CM Git Client native components.
