Demonstrating GIT Clone, Push, Merge in Oracle Visual Builder Studio

In this post, we will see how to use GIT Clone, Push, and Merge in Oracle Visual Builder Studio. To know how to create repositories and branches, click here.

Cloning the repository

Here we have created a new repository with open protection setting

Go to Files -> Clone and copy the HTTPS URL

Open GitHub Desktop and Click File-> Clone Repository. Paste the URL and select the location for the repository. And click the Clone button.

The repository will be cloned into your system and shown as below

Pushing the changes

As we know that our branch is OPEN, so anybody having access to this repository can push the changes. Now, let's modify the TestFile1.txt and one new line in it as below:

In GitHub Desktop, you will see the changes below. Enter the Commit Message "Updated the File" and click the Commit to main button.

Click the Push origin button to push the changes to remote

Changes are now visible in VBS:

Merge Operation

To demonstrate the merge option let's create another branch "test" in VBS. Click here to see how.

In GitHub Desktop, click the Fetch Origin button

Click on Current Branch and select origin/test

Change the TestFile1.txt and push the changes to remote

Now to merge the changes of the test branch to the main branch, we need to submit a merge request.
Go to Merge Requests section and click Create Merge Request button

Select the Repository, Target Branch, and Review Branch and click the Next button

Select the reviewers for this merge request. When the approver approves the merge request then only the merge operation will be performed. Enter the reviewer and click the Next button.
