MTA project Integration with Git in Business Application Studio: HANA XSA

[pallab_haldar]

Today I am going to discuss about the MTA project Integration with GitHub as a source control in SAP Business Application Studio: HANA XSA. earlier I discussed integration with  Web IDE which is slide difference.

SAP Business Application studio support  Personal access tokens instead of passwords and to access GitHub repo  in a SAP Business Application Studio we need create an access token on GitHub

Before perform the steps, I want everybody know the flow and keep the diagram so that you have a clear concept on this migration –

 

 

 

Integration Steps : 

1. Collect of GitHub credential :  Username,Github,email if from GitHub and generate personal access tokens. Click  Developer settings -> In the left sidebar, under  Personal access  tokens -> click Fine-grained tokens. Click Generate new token. Copy the token and save the token very carefully.

2. Set up Git repo credential in Business application Studio : 

Open anew terminal and initiate the git and clone your existing repository from GitHub

.

You can use the below commands as per requirement.

3. Create a remote repository : The remote repository then will be available to your workspace. You can use the below commands as per requirement.

user: PALLAB_MTA $ git init

user: PALLAB_MTA $ git config --global user.email "pallab_haldar@hotmail.com"

user: PALLAB_MTA $ git config --global user.name "Pallab_hal_01"

user: PALLAB_MTA $ git remote add projectm  https://github.com/pallabhaldar/HANA2.0.git

user: PALLAB_MTA $ curl -H 'Authorization: <my token generated>1' 'https://github.com/pallabhaldar/HANA2.0.git/'

user: PALLAB_MTA $ git status

On branch master



No commits yet

user: PALLAB_MTA $ git remote

projectm

user: PALLAB_MTA $ git remote -v

projectm        https://github.com/pallabhaldar/HANA2.0.git (fetch)

projectm        https://github.com/pallabhaldar/HANA2.0.git (push)





user: PALLAB_MTA $ git commit -m "first Comment"

[master (root-commit) a195b9c] first Comment

 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+)

 create mode 100644 .gitignore

 create mode 100644 .vscode/settings.json

 create mode 100644 mta.yaml

user: PALLAB_MTA $ git push --set-upstream projectm master

 

3. Pull Operation : you can use using graphical interface or use terminal to execute commands.

 

git remote add projectm  https://github.com/pallabhaldar/HANA2.0.git

git pull projectm

git clone <repository url>

git fetch

git fetch -all

git checkout Branch1

git clone —-branch Branch1 <https://github.com/pallabhaldar/HANA2.0.git

git branch –Branch1 

$ git checkout -t projectm/Branch1

 

4. Push  Code from BAS to Git : Before Push  Pull(step) , add and commit to local repository :

git init

cd BranchL

git add -A

git commit -m “My first Commit"

Push

git remote add projectm  https://github.com/pallabhaldar/HANA2.0.git

git push -u projectm BranchL :Branch1

 

5. Other git command that can be useful for different operations :

 

git clone /path/to/repository

git clone username@host:/path/to/repository

git add <filename>

git add *

git commit -m "Commit message"

git commit -a

git push origin master

git status

git remote add origin <server>

git remote -v

git checkout -b <branchname>

git checkout <branchname>

git branch

git branch -d <branchname>

git push origin <branchname>

git push --all origin

git push origin :<branchname>

git pull

git merge <branchname>

git diff

git diff --base <filename>

git diff <sourcebranch> <targetbranch>

git add <filename>

git tag 1.0.0 <commitID>

git log

git push --tags origin

git checkout -- <filename>

git fetch origin

git reset --hard origin/master

 

Hope this blog will useful to the daily git users in HANA.
