How to integrate git in WebIDE

#1

Normally in an IDE we have the git function. For example, pull or push file and code from github. Is there any module in Theia to implement such fuction?

#2

@LamYunfu thank you for the discussion, I’m not sure what you have tried yet but the main repository has both modules for git support being:

Alternatively, if you wish to use vscode extensions for additional git support (such as [github pull-requests and issues](https://open-vsx.org/extension/GitHub/vscode-pull-request-github, or gitlens), you’ll need to replace @theia/git in your application with the appropriate vscode builtin plugins being:

@vince-fugnitto Do I understand correctly that adding git and git-ui are the only necessary steps to have theia support vscode-pull-request?

I get the following error when doing so:

@jeluard it is definitely a pre-requisite, but it does not guarantee support as there may be missing APIs not yet implemented by the framework.

The version referenced in the following pull-request should work correctly: https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/pull/8870.

I’m unclear if I have to provide myself a GitHub authentication provider or not. Is it not provided by the builtins plugins? This is what I understand from the comment in getSession here.

#7

I haven’t tried the extension myself, but it looks like it requires some setup?

Looking at https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/pull/8870, there does seem to be some extra work required to get a authentication provider working.
