Contents
Linking to a git clone already existing on your computer
- First [clone] a git repository to any location in your local filesystem, you can do with a tool of your choice (EGit, msysgit...)
- Download and run Orion
- Create a project and link it to the location you used in Step 1.
- Orion will automatically detect that the project is actually a git clone (we will probably make it configurable in the future)
Linking to a git repository using git file store
- Download and run Orion
- Make sure
org.eclipse.orion.server.filesystem.git
is added your launch configuration - When linking a project select
gitfs
, enter URL for a git repository and leave Module empty - If you entered an existing location on your computer it must be a cloned repository, we won't be doing any smart detection here
- For a git repository which requires authentication (e.g. starts with ssh://) to be able to clone it (and also fetch and push) you will need to wait for bug 334120 to be fixed
