Editing Git Source Control Profiles

To modify a Git source control profile:

In the menu, click Project:<Project Name> > Project Settings .
Click the Source Control tab. The Source Control page opens, listing all of the source control profiles that have been created for the system.
Click on the name of the source control profile that you want to modify. The Edit Source Control Profile dialog box opens.
Edit the Name of the profile. This is the name that is displayed in lists where profiles are available for selection.
Type the URL of the Git Repository you want to access. You can use HTTP(S) and SSH URLs.
Note: This field is case sensitive.
Edit the Username and Password. These credentials are used to access your repository.
Optional: Specify a Branch to check out a specific branch. Leave this field empty to check out the master branch.
Set SSL verification to false if self-signed certificates are being used.
Set Use Git-Cli to true to first try to use the Git command line. Using the Git command line can improve performance because shallow clones of the repository will be created. The Git command line can only be used if it is installed on the involved server.
Optional: Type the Common working folder to which the Silk Central execution server should copy the source files. The working folder must be a local path. For example, C:\TempSources\.
Warning: It is recommended to leave this field empty and let Silk Central use a temporary working folder instead. Specifying a static working folder can lead to unexpected results when running parallel executions. The temporary location can be queried from the predefined parameter #sctm_source_root_dir.
To use a subfolder of the repository, type the subfolder's Project path. If you leave this field empty, the project path is set to the root directory.
Note: Clicking Browse clones the repository, which can take some time.
Click OK.

If the trial connection is successful, you are returned to the Source Control page.

Tip: If you want to check out a specific branch of your repository for a specific execution plan, specify the branch name in the Source Control Label field of the respective execution plan. See Creating Execution Plans for detailed information. This will overwrite the specified Branch in the Git source control profile.
