GIT GUI

Git repositories cloned using StarTeam Git Command Line Utility will automatically be configured to be accessed from GIT GUI. The following configuration options are set in the Git config file (.git\config). The initial clone must be performed using the command line.

Once cloned, users can use the GIT GUI menu options to Pull, Fetch or Push to StarTeam Server. Password and other options can be entered in the input dialog box.

Customizing the Commands

The following configuration options are saved by default in the .git\config file and can be customized to add more default command options.

[guitool "StarTeam/Pull"]
	 cmd = git st pull
	 argprompt = yes
[guitool "StarTeam/Push"]
  cmd = git st push
  argprompt = yes
[guitool "StarTeam/Fetch"]
  cmd = git st fetch
  argprompt = yes

Pull, Push, and Fetch options can be found under the Tools > StarTeam menu of GIT GUI. Arguments can be entered in the input dialog box.

For example, click Tools > Add to open the Add Tool dialog box.

  1. In the Name field, enter StarTeam\pull.
  2. In the Command field, enter git st pull --auto-cache-agent.
