Running a git remote usually means a server outside the SAP landscape. This activates the ZABAPGITSERVER service in SICF and serves repositories over HTTP to any abapGitabapGitA Git client written in ABAP that runs inside the system, so objects are cloned, pulled and pushed without leaving it; with no package manager in ABAP, a cloned repository is how code is distributed.community org, abap client, including branch creation, pushes and merge requests between branches of the same repository. It stops short of a full git server: there are no submodules or blame view, and it is tested primarily against abapGit as the client.

README

Git server implemented in ABAP
Install
via abapGit
Setup
by activating the ServiceName ZABAPGITSERVER in transaction SICF
Start
to use it via the web frontend by running transaction ZABAPGITSERVER (or right click on the SICF service ZABAPGITSERVER and choose Test Service)
Merge requests
abapGitServer supports merge requests between two branches of the same repo.
Creating branches
After creating a new branch, push it directly to abapGitServer before committing any changes:
git branch <new>
git push origin <new>
After this operation you can make your changes and commit them to the new branch. When you push a new branch with new commits, the operation will fail.

Requirements
- https://github.com/larshp/ABAP-Swagger
- https://github.com/larshp/abapGit (the full repository version >= 1.102.0 is needed, not only the latest build on https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abapGit/build/master/zabapgit.abap)
Testing
Version requirement
see https://github.com/larshp/ABAP-Swagger
Scope
- Web interface: browse/create repository
- No tags, no submodules, no blame
- Primarily tested with abapGit as client
Use cases
- Automatic backup of objects
- Increased visibility over changes in system
Works with 'git pull' from command line, so all objects can be exported to a different git server if needed, guide
Use with abapGit
abapGit is your git client and the abapGitServer our server. We first have to setup the ssl connection with the root certificate of the sap system the abapGitServer is running on. After that the abapGitServer can be used like every other git server.
