Has anyone tried or had success integrating Git with Rocket Software's eclipse-based U2 DBTools Basic Developer Toolkit and RESTful Web Services Developer?  

I am ONLY asking about BDT + Git - i have a specific need for this.  I don't need to hear about alternatives to BDT or Git such as SVN, SJ+, Aldon, LM(e), etc.  

Thanks in advance..

Tom,  

We are running Universe on AIX / unix.     It sounds to me like you are using Git on the universe/unix server, outside of the BDT IDE.  I was asking about integrating Git into the Eclipse/BDT perspective.      

I'm not sure what I'm asking can be done with BDT, because BDT downloads a local copy of the source code of the source code and names it something random like "program_name~16456.uvbp" with that "~#####.uvbp" suffix.   So Git tried to manage these local files with the whacky suffix. 

I downloaded eGit into BDT and now its all screwed up.   ​ because BDT is supposed to download a local copy of the source code when you open it from the server.  But in certain files, it is not pulling down the most recent version from the server, no matter what I do.   I think i'm going to have to abandon this, uninstall and reinstall eclipse and BDT.

Hi,

We did move to GIT and use BDT.  It can be done.

  1. Make as many files you can as type 19.  Not only programs but procs, etc.
  2. Hashed files (including dictionaries) need to have a trigger on them that writes to a type 19 file.
    1. Write the trigger so multiple records are written to a single “trigger record”.  This will help with performance.

GIT permits you to either push commits up to the repository or you can push the “feature branch” up and commit the changes when you are ready.  I suggest the latter.

 

Create a “sandbox” (accounts for each developer).  This eliminates conflicts.  GIT will make the merging the code easier.

 

You didn’t indicate if UV is on Windows or Unix.  Unix you need to use “Smart GIT” and an xterm emulator, or just use Unix commands.  I suggest using both.  I haven’t used GIT with UV on Windows but I think it would be easier.

 

I really liked using GIT over other version control solutions.  GIT also helped me perform peer reviews, I got to see every change intentional or not.

 

Enjoy!

Tom
