oxygenxml / oxygen-git-client-addon

A Git client that can be installed as an add-on in Oxygen XML Editor.

Oxygen Git Client add-on

The Git Client add-on installs a Git client in Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer. It contributes multiple side-views, specialized for different Git operations, the main one being named Git Staging. The Git Staging side-view is available by default only in the Editor and DITA UI perspectives.

This add-on is compatible with Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer version 25.0 or higher.

Installation

To install the add-on, follow these instructions:

1. Go to Help > Install new add-ons... to open an add-on selection dialog box.
2. Enter or paste https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Addons/default/updateSite.xml in the Show add-ons from field.
3. Select the Git Client add-on and click Next.
4. Read the end-user license agreement. Then select the I accept all terms of the end-user license agreement option and click Install.
5. Restart the application.

Result: A Git Staging view will now be available in Oxygen. If it is not visible, go to Window > Show View and select Git Staging. This view acts as a basic Git client integrated directly in Oxygen, and it provides support for committing changes to a Git repository, comparing and merging changes, resolving conflicts, and other Git commands.

The add-on can also be installed using the following alternative procedure:

1. Go to the Releases page and download the oxygen-git-client-{version}-plugin.jar file.
2. Unzip it inside {oXygenInstallDir}/plugins. Make sure you don't create any intermediate folders. After unzipping the archive, the file system should look like this: {oXygenInstallDir}/plugins/oxygen-git-client-{version}, and inside this folder, there should be a plugin.xmlfile.
