Log In to GitCentric

You will see the following log-in screen and the GitCentric menus will be displayed, although some will be disabled until you log in.

Note: The very first user to log in to GitCentric, who should be the administrator who installed it, will see a slightly different log-in screen, which includes a field for specifying a “CLI Path”. This initial login screen and procedure is described in the GitCentric Installation and Release Notes.

2. Here are the fields that you may encounter with either of these dialogs. Most are relatively self-explanatory so long as you know that the Username and Password are your credentials on the AccuRev server.

AccuRev Server: From the pull-down menu, select the host name of the AccuRev server that you wish to associate with a Git branch, and where you have a login account. For example: acserver2:5050, or <ip_address>:5050 or localhost:5050. This may or may not be the same AccuRev server where the GitCentric database resides. In a simple configuration, this is may be the same host that you just connected to with your web browser, or it may be a remote server. Note that if localhost appears as an option, it refers to an AccuRev server on the host you are connecting to, not your local machine where you started your browser.

• Username: -- The AccuRev user account on this server that you use. If you are an administrator, this would be the account that you use for GitCentric configuration, and might be an account such as “acserver” if you have legacy AccuRev systems. See the GitCentric Installation and Release Notes for a discussion about user accounts.

If this is your first time logging into GitCentric, you will be taken through the self-registration process described in the next section. Otherwise, you will be taken to the GitCentric UI.
