Git Console
The Git console provides a way to run Git commands from the command line. You can launch the console directly from ReadyAPI.
About
The ReadyAPI UI provides access to some of the most widely used Git commands, as described in the previous topics of the section. However, there are commands that cannot be performed via the UI. This is where the console proves to be useful: it allows you to run all Git commands.
ReadyAPI uses the Git Bash console. It is a Linux-based command line that has implementations for Windows and macOS. All the commands in Git Bash are identical on all the platforms.
Tip
For a reference on Git Bash commands, visit the https://git-scm.com/docs page, or run the git help
command in the console.
