Uploading Composites and Descriptors to a Git repository

You can use Asset Build Environment to push composites and descriptors to a Git repository. Apart from providing the values to the properties in build.properties, specify the following additional properties to upload composites and descriptors to a Git repository.

Property	Definition
localStore	Represents the local folder where the Git repository is cloned or the local Git repository. localStore is the Git local repository that is a parent of build.output.dir.
remoteStore	URL of the remote Git repository.
branch	Optional. The branch in the Git repository where composites and descriptors will be pushed.
message	Required. Message which describes the commits.
username	Authentication username for the remote Git repository.
password	Authentication password for the remote Git repository.
pathToPrivateKey	File system path where your private key resides. Used if SSH protocol is passed.
pathToPublicKey	File system path where your public key resides. Used if SSH protocol is passed.
privateKeyPassword	Password of your private key. Used if SSH protocol is passed.
pathToKnownHosts	File system path of the known hosts. Used if SSH protocol is passed.

Run one of the following commands from the Software AG_directory\common\AssetBuildEnvironment\bin directory to build and upload the composites and descriptors to the remote Git repository:

For this platform...	Run the following command...
Windows	build.bat buildUploadAssets
UNIX	build.sh buildUploadAssets

buildUploadAssets supports SSH and HTTPS. If HTTPS protocol is passed, HTTPS needs the username and password to be supplied. If SSH protocol is passed, SSH needs <pathToPrivateKey>, <pathToPublicKey>, <privateKeyPassword>, and <pathToKnownHosts>.
