Remote operations

Open brunopostle opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

As of writing there are no remote commands (fetch, remote, pull, push, clone etc..) in the GUI.

This shouldn't stop you from using an external tool (a Git GUI or even the command-line Git) for this stuff, no need to restart blender. ie, if you clone a remote repository the 'origin' will be set in the repository, so you can push any locally committed work to this 'origin'. You can add a 'remote' for somebody else's version of the same project, and fetching this will create a branch in your local repository that you can browse/diff/merge within the blender add-on just like any other local branch.

There are a lot of potential remote operations, adding them all would massively complicate the GUI. What is a minimum? maybe just push and pull with things like the origin being set up using external tools. Even push and pull can result in errors in normal operation, this needs to be handled.
