Setting Up Git

See Also

Before you can take advantage of the IDE's Git support, you need to have Git client software installed on your system. The IDE supports Git client versions 1.7.x and higher.

After the Git client is set up, you can run Git commands from the IDE's Team > Git menu. To clone an external Git repository, choose Team > Git > Clone. In the process of cloning, the IDE automatically imports all of the history and status infomation for the cloned files.

If you have already cloned a Git repository, the IDE automatically recognizes the files as versioned files if those files are part of an open IDE project or if they are added to the Favorites window. You can call Git commands on such files from the Git menu or by right-clicking a file or folder and choosing from the Git submenu.
