Is it possible to use GitHub with Talend Open Studio 8.0.1 for Data Integration (free version) ?

[Metikosh]

Hi all,

I am trying to find out if it is possible to use Talend Open Studio 8.0.1 for Data Integration (free version) with Git. I found this in a conversation here https://github.com/dgm01/TOS_GIT - but it doesn't work for me - it seems that this feature is blocked since TOS DI 7.2 . Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

Hello @Metikosh​ ,

As the eclipse feature egit is not built-in with Talend Open Studio 8.0.1, and since 8.0.1 , it will use Feature Manager to install and active features which is not available in Talend Open Studio 8.0.1 (free version)

see https://help.talend.com/r/en-US/8.0/studio-user-guide/install-features-to-talend-studio

so it's impossible to use Talend Open Studio 8.0.1 for Data Integration (free version) with Git

Thanks

You can of cours use Git for Open Studio projects.

You need to synch the project folder (a folder with capital name named as your project like DATAWAREHOUSE) within the workspace.

Please take care the subfolder poms are ignored, otherwise you will get a lot of trouble with other studios.

Navigate to the project folder and create here a git repository. You can do this with an existing project.

Next create a file in the project folder called .gitignore and add this content:

**/poms/**

**/.settings/**

Now use the git tools to add and commit the content of your project.

Next add your remote repository (if you have such) to your local git repository.

You are ready to go now.

BTW. Mostly it works more reliable than the Enterprise solution with the integrated git client and you have all features of git and not a limited set!
