Source control enhancements

  • (Git only) You can sign in to Git with a token from Windows Credentials or Github Sign-in page when getting a PowerBuilder workspace (using the "Connect to Workspace" contextual menu) from the Git source control system. (You will need to install the Git for Windows tool first in order to display the Windows Credentials or Github Sign-in page.)

  • (Git only) You can specify to get a branch now when getting a PowerBuilder workspace (using the "Connect to Workspace" contextual menu) from the Git source control system. It will default to "main" if you have not specified a branch.

  • (Git and SVN) You can select to generate PBLs from the source code when getting a PowerBuilder workspace (using the "Connect to Workspace" contextual menu) from the source control system. Therefore, PBLs are no longer necessary to be uploaded to source control.

  • (Git and SVN) When you use the "Add to Source Control" contextual menu to upload the workspace, the PBL file is no longer listed for upload in the file/folder list. You can use the "Upload PBL" contextual menu to upload the PBL files if necessary. But uploading PBLs for source control is generally not necessary anymore, because PBLs can be automatically generated from source code.
