as I just installed Plastic SCM on my home computer, and connected through Unity, I was prompted to choose Organization. I managed to select the incorrect one and now I can't find a way to change organization within Plastic SCM.
The repo is already on the cloud according to my dashboard on the Plastic SCM website, but there is no option inside the application to switch server or organization.
Any ideas how to fix this?
There are two solutions to this, First, you can delete the local repo that you have cloned(the wrong one apparently as you said), or if you don't want to just create a new workspace. In the top left corner, you may find your repo name with a dropdown, click on that and create a new workspace. The new workspace dialog box will appear to select which repo you want to clone and a new workspace will be created for you with that repo.
Also there is a repositories and workspace thing in the left hand menu, if you click on the repositories and in the right hand side change the server to the desired organization. You will see a list of repos of that organization you have access to. Right Click the required repo and select create a new workspace option.

I forked a project to a group. But there is no option to delete that forked project. I saw danger zone in Github. Is there any option available to delete forked project from Gitlab?
login with master role in the repository.
go to forked project. then from left panel, go to Settings => General.
like this:
click the Expand from Advance settings panel.
go to bottom page and click Remove project.
then type your projectName and click Confirm.
I hope is useful.
First, check wheter you have master role in the repository/Group. Developer or any other role cannot delete the project/forked project.
If you are master then
Go to settings
Go to Advanced settings.
Click on remove project.
Type the project name and click confirm
As per the above response, you'll not be able to fork again for about a week as the name is already taken, by the pending removed fork.
This is frustrating, and sometimes unaffordable.
Here is what you can do from settings:
1) change the deferred removal project name
2) press Save Changes (ignroing potential error messages)
3) expand advanced and now rename the path as well
4) try to fork again; now it worked
I am trying to create a local workspace for a repository that I was invited to on Plastic Cloud. If I have the server name/port and repository name, how would I "clone" the project locally for me to work on. I know this is a basic question, but the Plastic docs have been super unhelpful. I was told by the person who invited me to the project that I need to search for the server in the "Cloud" section of the GUI, then when the repo shows up, right click and create a new workspace. When the repo comes up, right clicking only gives "Create New Sync View".
Join a Cloud project using the wizard
When you start Cloud Edition for the first time, you should see a screen like the following:
Where you can enter your Cloud Credentials.
After you enter your credentials, you go to the next screen where you can "join an existing cloud project" and then all the local repo creation and workspace creation is done for you.
Join a Cloud project manually - screencast
In case you already had Plastic SCM installed and configured, then the wizard will not show up, but joining the project is still quite easy.
The following screencast shows how to create a local repo joined to cloud manually: https://youtu.be/ECVAHTH8Dcg.
Join a Cloud project manually - step by step
Let's now check how to do it manually (which is the same you would do for a regular non-cloud repo you want to replicate).
First create a new local repo to host the clone from Cloud. Go to "repositories" and then click "Create new repo".
Now create a new workspace for this new local repo: (you know, go to "workspaces" first...)
And finally you can pull branches from the Cloud... but you know how to do that from the sync view or even the Branch Explorer (just right click on "main" and do "pull from...").
From the command line
By the way, it is less visual but faster from the command line:
cm mkrep localrep#local
cm mkwk localworkspace path_to_the_workspace
cm replicate main#cloud_repo#your_cloud_org#cloud localrep#local
Hope it helps!
I've renamed my remote repository and created a new local repository from it. How do I change it within EGit in Eclipse?
Previous answer list below also has issues. The only solution appears to be:
Backup .project, etc. files
Delete existing project
Import existing local git repository as a "general project"
Put backed up files into the new project
Restart Eclipse
Rename, per se, is not the actual operation -- changing repository is the correct mindset to solving the problem according to a coworker.
Select 'Team->Disconnect'
Select 'Team->Share' On 'Share Project' dialog
Select Git and click Next
Unselect 'Use or create repository in parent folder of project'
Select the new local repository
Checkbox the project name showing correct current location and target location
Click 'Finish'
Eclipse will move existing files from previous local repository to the new local repository.
I just renamed a repository. I use LiClipse, an Eclipse variant which includes EGit. I believe there is no way to do this operation with the EGit UI. Here's how I did it outside of EGit and Eclipse, without confusing them.
In the Git perspective, right-click on the repo, and select Remove repository from view... from the pop-up menu.
A dialogue box offers to delete the repository from the workspace. I interpreted this to mean, delete the repo directory and everything in it from my disk. Press the "No" button.
In the programming language-specific perspective (PyDev, in my case), right-click on the project, and select Delete... from the pop-up menu.
A confirmation dialogue box appears. In this case, I interpret it as just confirming that I want to remove the project's entry from the project list in that perspective. There is a checkbox, "Delete this project from workspace?". Leave that checkbox unchecked. Press the "Yes" button to confirm.
In the finder or command-line, find the repository directory, and change the directory name to the new name.
Return to Eclipse, and the Git perspective.
Select menu item, File... Open projects from file system.... (There is also a small icon with a "+", above the projects list, with tooltip "Add an existing local Git repository to this view". I believe it is different but equivalent.) A dialogue box appears.
Select the (renamed) repository directory. Click Next or Finish to complete the wizard. The Repository appears in the list of Git repositories in EGit.
Return to the programming language-specific perspective appropriate for that repository.
Select menu item, File... Open projects from file system.... A dialogue box appears.
Select the (renamed) repository directory. Click Next or Finish to complete the wizard. The Repository appears in the list of Git repositories in that language-specific perspective.
The project-specific Eclipse settings appear to be stashed away in a file .project within the repository, so they are not modified by the rename happening overhead.
I am in need of help in trying to setup Eclipse so that I can push my code onto my GitHub account. I've searched online and the tutorials I have found are either outdated or don't work for me.
I already have a project on Eclipse. How would I put that code onto GitHub? Would someone please add detailed instructions please. Any help is appreciated.
EDIT
As soon as I posted this question, and fiddling around with the settings I managed to get it to work! What a coincidence...
The only problem I have now is how do I set it up so that when I commit it will only select the files in the project folder? Right now it is showing all 600 files in the Package Explorer.
Alright, there are several ways of doing this. I found this to be the easiest way:
First, set up SSH2 configurations. Go to Windows->Preferences->General->Network Connections->SSH2->Key Management and Generate RSA Key. Save Key
Copy that key. You will need to go to your GitHub account settings and add the new SSH key to your account.
Now, you need to install eGit:
Next, you want to add the Git Repositories view:
Create a new Git Repository. I have already created a repository called Java. I will refer to that repo for the rest of the explanation.
After you create your repository, it should show up in the Git Repositories view. Now to add your project to the repository, right click on your project and select Team->Share Project.
Select the repository you just created. You can also use CTRL+ to select multiple projects and place them in one repository.
Now go back to your Git Repositories view. Go to Remotes . Right click and select Create Remote.
Select Change... and enter the SSH link for your Repository on GitHub.
For connection, select SSH. Then press Finish.
For Rev-mapping, select Advanced....
For Source Ref select refs/heads/master. And then press Add Spec, then select Save specifications in 'origin' configuration. Then press finish.
That's pretty much it. You can commit changes by right clicking your project - >Team->Commit...`
Push new commits to GitHub:
This is a really good explanation on how to set up Eclipse pull requests.
The current branch is not configured for pull No value for key branch.master.merge found in configuration
The only way I seem to be able to get use git in eclipse is to create a non-git project then turn that into a repository. This ends up moving the project out of the eclipse workspace on the file system. I then have to delete the project(it's still in the git repository), then import a git repository after creating a branch and clone it to get it back into the eclipse workspace.
Is there a simpler way?
I simply want to create project that is really a clone from a local repository. Essentially I have two copies on my HD but I can commit the eclipse project to the git repository. Unfortunately there has to be a better way?
To answer this question involves three steps.
Create a external (remote) repository
Share the project in a way that it remains in the workspace
Connect the project repository to the remote repository
Create a Remote Repository on Your Local Machine
Switch to the Git perspective. Click on Create a new Git Repository.
When a dialog appears select a directory where you would like your remote
repository to be. This is were your project will be pushed to. You will also
want to select the Create as a bare repository option.
That's it for this step. You should now have this repository in your EGit
repositories list.
Sharing Project within the Workspace
There are two ways to share a project so that it remains in your workspace.
1. Make the project directory a repository
2. Make the whole workspace directory a repository
The Project as a Repository
The first option option is not recommended by the Eclipse team. This issue is
described in more detail at Why is not recommended to have an Eclipse project folder as a Git repository?.
The basics of the issue are twofold:
You can't have more than one project per repository
If some thing happens to your workspace you'll lose your repository too
Issue 1 isn't solved here. Issue 2 can be solved by connecting to a remote
repository as show later.
To share the project as a repository:
Right click on the project
Select Team -> Share Project... from the popup menu
Click Use or create repository in parent folder of project
Select the project from the list
Click on the Create Repository button
Click the Finish button
Next you'll want to connect your newly created repository to the remote repository.
That's covered below.
The Workspace as Repository
The second options allows multiple projects to be added to your repository.
In fact any new project you create will automatically added to the repository.
Automatically adding projects can cause some issues.
One issue is that, if there are changes in multiple projects, staging
those changes can take a bit of wading through. Using a Tree presentation when
staging can simplify things.
Another more serious issue occurs when importing a git clone of a project into
the workspace. This importing will create nested repositories. Nested
repositories can cause problems
according to this post.
By default Eclipse doesn't import the git clone of the project into the workspace.
To share the workspace as a repository:
Right click on the project
Select Team -> Share Project... from the popup menu
Click on the Create button
Select your workspace as your Repository directory
Click the Finish button
Once your repository is created you may want to do a little house keeping. I suggest
adding the RemoteSystemsTempFiles project to the .gitignore file. Note: the
.metadata file is added automatically by Eclipse.
You can ignore the RemoteSystemsTempFiles by:
Switching to the EGit perspecitive
Selecting the workspace repository from the list of repositories
Select the Git Staging tab
Click on the View Menu button on the right side the the tabs toolbar
Select Presentation -> Tree menu (folders are easier to ignore form the tree view)
Right click on the RemoteSystemsTempFiles project
Select the Ignore Folder menu
Ignore other projects in the same way
Connecting to the Remote Repository
The last stage is connecting the workspace repository to the remote repository
we created earlier. Once you've switched to the EGit perspective:
Expand your workspace respository
Right click on the Remote node in the tree
Select the Create remote... menu
Leave the remote name as origin
Select Configure fetch
Press Ok
Click on the Change... button
Click on the Local File button
Select the bare repository that you created in the first section
Click Finish
Click Save and Fetch and then Ok
You can then stage, commit and push changes in your projects and workspace.
When you first commit and push EGit will push the default branch master
to the remote and configure pulling this branch from remote repository.
Follwing the User Guide, you would need to create the .git repo within your current project path:
If the .git path is within the current project path, there is no reason EGit moves your files anywhere else.
