Closed nedi-dev closed 1 year ago

nedi-dev commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug Up to Version 1.6.0 the extension "Git Client for IBM i" worked well. After installing Version 1.6.1 of "Code for IBM i" we receive the message "the directory is no git repository" while using VSCODE git view.

To Reproduce see above

Expected behavior Using the "git-view" in VSC you should see the git informations of the project located on IBM i.

Screenshots grafik

Environment (please complete the following information):

Additional context The extension "Git Client for IBM i" is not listed in the VSCODE Marketplace anymore - why?

worksofliam commented 1 year ago

The git client extension is no longer maintained and is not available to install from the Marketplace.

You are able to build it and fix your issues manually from here: https://github.com/halcyon-tech/git-client-ibmi

is there any preferred alternative? maybe: using command-line git in pase-terminal (not too user friendly) or mapping a drive in Windows with SSHFS-Win (this would lead to a duplicated ifs-connection since Code for IBM i has already one.)
or ??

@nedi-dev The recommended approach is to use a local workspace/repo with the deploy feature.

See the docs here! https://halcyon-tech.github.io/docs/#/pages/developing/local/getting-started
