How to Checkout and Commit a WSO2 App Factory application from GIT?!

To get an idea you can download and try it out WSO2 App Factory from here.


* To find the location and the availability of GIT in your machine you can execute the following command in terminal :

• Open Terminal (Finder > Applications > Utilities)
              git init

•  You can create a folder in your machine to checkout the projects.
              mkdir GIT_Projects

• Go inside the created folder.
• When you checkout you need to get the GIT to accept the certificate. So run the following command.
              export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1

• Now to clone the selected project to your GIT folder :
  Log in to the App Factory with a user that has App owner or Developer permission. Copy the URL in the application dashboard or the repository page of the Application.
      git clone https://git.appfactory.wso2.com/git/kala.com/AppName.git

• Go inside the checked out project.
                        cd AppName
• You can do the changes now to the code by opening source code that you just downloaded to your local environment using your own IDE.
• Save the code after doing the necessary changes.
• Using the command line navigate to the folder where you cloned the repository and execute the following command to get status of the files that are modified.
                             Git status
• Commit and push your changes to the remote repository using the following commands.
                             Git commit -am "my changes"
                             Git push origin master

• Now the changes are committed.
• Go to the the Repos & Builds page in App Factory and click the Launch button associated with the master repository to run the application.

Now you have your Application Launched with the modifications :)
