    Connecting Server Project to Existing Repository

    Git

    SVN

    There is an existing Server sandbox with some data, graphs, jobflows, etc. The content of the sandbox is in repository as well.

    This section describes a way to create a new Server project corresponding to this sandbox and to attach the project with versioning system.

    Git

    Cloning the remote repository and binding the content of an existing sandbox with the project from this repository is almost same as Initial Check-Out of Project from Repository.

    The difference is that in the second step of the New Server Project wizard you should choose an existing sandbox.

    Eclipse Plugin - EGit

    1. Clone the repository.

      Switch to Git perspective.

      In Git Repositories tab, click the Clone a Git Repository and add the clone to this view icon.

      Enter the remote repository location and password.

      Choose branches to be tracked.

      Enter the location at which the local repository will be created.

      Switch back to CloverDX perspective.

    2. Import the project from the local Git repository.

    3. Convert the project to Server Project.

      In the second step of wizard, choose an existing server sandbox.

      In the last step of the wizard, choose the type of merge, e.g. Merge content - prefer remote files.
