3.4 Git Repository Registration

In order for Git repositories to show up in the RTC Git Connector plugin, they have to first be registered with the desired project area. See here for the official instructions from IBM on how to register a Git repository.

Note that the registration of Git repositories is only possible for users with a role that is permitted to perform the Git Repository Registration action. Check the permissions tab of the project area configuration to view which roles have been granted permission for the task.

Also, note that RTC currently only allows for a Git repository to be registered a single time across all project areas. This means that if the Git repository has already been registered in another project area on the same RTC instance, you will receive an error when attempting to save the repository registration. This is by design from IBM but limits what repositories you can use together with the RTC Git Connector plugin because the plugin can only list the repositories registered in the current project area. This means that it is not possible to use the plugin to connect with a Git repository that has been registered in a different project area. We are considering ways around this limitation and may implement a solution in the near future. Please let us know if you've encountered this problem by opening an issue so that we can discuss the problem and prioritize finding a solution.
