Git connector allows the downloading of source files and uploading of target files directly from/to the Git repository. Memsource clones the remote repository locally and uses git commands to communicate with the remote repo.

 

Use Cases

There are a number of use cases for the connector:

  • Project Managers can add files directly to projects from an online repository. View changes submitted since the last commit by clicking the show link in the middle of the screen.

  • Set up the Automation Widget allowing Submitters to add files to requests directly from the online repository. View changes submitted since the last commit by clicking the show link in the middle of the screen.

  • Use Automated Project Creation to have Memsource automatically create new projects when a new commit is detected in monitored files, folder, or an entire subdirectory.

    • This connector supports absolute path setting. Target translation files can be stored in a different branch than the source files.

    • When APC is set to monitor subfolders, the target folder will have the same subfolder structure as the source folder.

    If the Include subfolders option is selected in APC:

    • If remote and subfolders are monitored, no files are imported the very first time APC runs. If source files are updated or new files are added to those folders, APC creates a project and imports the files.

    • If specific files in a remote folder are selected, the option is ignored and the specified files are imported on the first run.

    If the Include subfolders option is not selected in APC:

    • If a remote folder is monitored, all files from that folder are imported.

    • If specific files are monitored, only those files are imported.

  • Set up Continuous Jobsto have Memsource monitor selected files for changes.

  • The Connector API can be used to automate steps otherwise performed manually through the UI. Webhooks can be used to have Memsource notify 3rd party systems about certain events (for example, a job status change).
