在aptana 3中克隆rails git repo

Question

I am trying to clone my rails git repo into aptana so I can work on it and also change between branches flawlessly. I have been using netbeans for the last few years, but now I would like to use aptana because it is more up to date.

I can not find a way to clone git repo in aptana and have all the branches available.

Would anyone help me please?

Thanks

It looks like Aptana just performs a simple git clone operation, which means that all of your branches are available. It's just that Aptana only shows you "local" branches (that is, branches that exist in the checked-out working copy on which Aptana is operating). It doesn't appear, at least at first glance, that the GUI allows you to select remote branches...but you can do this without a problem on the command line.

Assujing that your Aptana project is in ~/Documents/Aptana Studio 3 WOrkspace/MyProject , you can do something like this...

• Change to the project directory.

   $ cd "~/Document/Aptana Studio 3 Workspace/MyProject" 

• Run git branch -a to see all available branches. You'll see something like this:

   $ git branch -a * master remotes/origin/develop remotes/origin/master remotes/origin/nifty.feature 

• Everything starting with remotes/ is a remote branch. You can create a local branch that tracks the remote branch with the git checkout command. For example, to check out the develop branch:

   $ git checkout develop Branch develop set up to track remote branch develop from origin. Switched to a new branch 'develop' 

Return to Aptana Studio and you'll see the new branch listed in the popup menu by your project name.
