Modify data in GitHub from a development package
In the GIT tab of the Development Package tool, you can view version differences (so-called diffs) of artifacts that have been either updated remotely or locally since a last commit to the connected GitHub remote repository.
Prerequisites
-
You have created a new development package or imported a development package from Git.
-
To work together on a development package some prior knowledge of Git is required.
Procedure
-
Select one of the following depending on your use case:
-
To view artifacts that have been updated remotely since the last commit to the remote repository, select View Diff (Remote).
-
To view artifacts that have been updated locally since the last commit to the remote repository, select View Diff (Local).
Result: In the Modified Files dialog, applications are displayed as multiple artifact files, one artifact file for the application definition and one artifact file for each script in the application. Only applications and server scripts are added as multiple artifact files, all other artifacts are only single-definition files. In the Status column, you can identify what has occurred to individual artifact files via the identifiers
added,modified,deleted. In the Diff column of the artifact file, to view specific diff changes between chosen versions, select .
