Mapping the Branch to the Stream

Note: This section is for system administrators only.

Once you have specified the AccuRev Server connection, you can map Git branches to AccuRev streams.

Note: You cannot map to the root stream of a depot.

In the Branch-Stream Mappings section, click the Add button. GitCentric opens a panel beneath the table, as shown in the following image.
In each of the fields in this panel, you can click a Browse button to navigate to the value you wish to specify. Most fields are self-explanatory, but the Mount Point warrants additional discussion.
The Mount Point is the directory within the stream that will synchronize AccuRev and Git content. GitCentric provides a display that allows you to navigate to the desired directory. You can select the root of the file system within this stream, or a subdirectory, which populates the field. The folder you select determines which AccuRev-controlled files will populate your repository.

Note: This step assumes that you have carefully planned out your branch-to-stream-mapping, and that you have either created a new stream or have identified an existing stream that is appropriate for mapping. See Keeping Git Merges and AccuRev Promotes in Sync for more information.
Specify in which direction the files should flow when the Git repository and the AccuRev stream are first mapped. If you are mapping a repo with content to a new stream, select Commit AccuRev content to Git. If you are mapping an existing stream with files to a new repository, select Commit Git content to AccuRev.
Repeat these steps for each branch and stream that you want to map.
When you are done, click Save to save the branch-stream mapping. The next time you view the AccuRev stream, a G icon will be displayed for every stream that you have mapped to a GitCentric repo via the AccuRev Connector.
