Remote git repository for jBPM Business Central

Question

I use Business Central from jBPM 7.31 to create assets (BPMN and DMN). In my application (Spring Boot) I attached the KJAR with assets created by Business Central and use KIE as library. In other words, I use BC only as a diagram editor running on localhost.

When I created project in Business Central a new bare git repository was created in $WORKING_DIRECTORY/.niogit directory. However, my team already has a git repository set up. Is it possible to configure Business Central to use a remote git repository instead of the one created on my local machine?

Answer 1

We also use business central and briefly looked at doing this. Instead however, we decided it was best to just add an additional remote to the repository because of the lack of support in Business Central and we didn't want to rock the boat.

Answer 2

In the latest version of jBPM Business Central you can import projects from external git repositories.

Please note that you can't push local changes back to the repository with the Business Central. You can just do local modifications and deploy them.

If you really need to, you can add a custom "post-commit hook" on Business Central to execute custom commands eg push git changes back to your origin.
