Viewing Remote Changes

Before pulling the changes from the repository, or pushing the changes to it, you may want to check what was changed. You do this in the following way:

  1. Right-click the project in the Navigator panel and select Git > Show Remote Changes from the context menu.

    Git integration: Show Remote Changes command in context menu

    — or —

    Select Project > Git > Show Remote Changes from the main menu.

    Git integration: Show Remote Changes command in main menu

    Note

    If the command is disabled, make sure you enable integration with Git.

  2. The Remote Repository Changes dialog will appear. In this dialog, you can view changes stored in the repository:

    Git integration: Remote Repository Changes Dialog

Viewing Differences

To compare file versions, click View in the Details column. A window opens, displaying the differences.

Tip

If 3 or more lines are updated, chevron buttons ( and ) allow you to navigate between the changes. An indicator (for example, 2/10) shows your position in the diff view.

Identifying Auto Updates

If a file contains only safe-to-commit changes—changes made automatically by ReadyAPI and not by the user— the safe commit changes icon RAPI_screenshot_shield_check.png appears when viewing file differences. Hover over the icon to see the tooltip: ReadyAPI Auto Update: This change was made automatically and is safe to commit.
