Gitserver
Use the Git protocol to pull content from your server.
Read time 1 minuteLast updated 14 days ago
Every on-prem Unity Version Control (UVCS) server can use the Git protocol to pull content from UVCS.
Note
Gitserver is the server-side counterpart of GitSync, which allows UVCS clients to push and pull to a GitHub server, and closes the GitHub interoperability loop.
- Connect GitHub compatible software to UVCS, such as FishEye, CodeCollaborator, ReviewBoard, and TeamCity.
- Use UVCS as a central GitHub server so that developers can push and pull from GitHub to a GitServer enabled UVCS server.
- Serve as a central repository for heterogeneous teams so that several teams can collaborate on both GitHub and UVCS. For example, if you have a gradual migration to UVCS from GitHub, or if teams have different preferences.
- If a change comes from GitHub with a operation, the changes are immediately available for UVCS and GitHub clients.
git push - If a change comes from UVCS with a or
checkinoperation, these changes aren’t immediately available for GitHub clients. A background thread checks everyreplicaseconds if there are new UVCS changes in the repositories you exported to GitHub. If it finds changes, it starts to calculate the mappings, and makes the recent changes visible to GitHub.mapping.interval
