I have a GitHub account and a token. I have set them up in Window → Preference → Versioning. I created a remote repository on GitHub and obtained the URL, but when I try to clone it, an error is displayed. Is there something missing in the settings? I have read the OL Connect documentation.
Have you tried cloning your repository from the command line, to make sure you can access the github repo with your credentials?
Something like
git clone https://MY_EMAIL:MY_TOKEN@github.com/myuser/some_repo.git
Hi @Phil
According to our company’s GitHub admin, I need to set proxy for git. Do you know where I need to set the proxy information on OL Connect Desiger?
There is no way to set proxy information from within OL Connect. However, you should be able to achieve the same thing by installing the stand alone version of GIT on your machine and then following this procedure.
Since the procedure can be used to modify either the global GIT config or a specific repository, OL Connect should then be able to conform to the proxy settings.
Hi @Phil
If a proxy is required to access GitHub, is it correct to understand that OL Connect Designer is used only for modifying source code and version control, and for procedures that require connecting to a remote repository, such as cloning, publishing, and checking changes, the standalone version of Git needs to be used?
OL Connect has its own version of GIT embedded inside the application. It is therefore able to clone, check-in and check-out, publish and tag repositories. But the embedded version does not make all of the functionality accessible from inside OL Connect, so for advanced features, you still need to use the standalone version of Git.
