Before using Git source control in MATLAB, it needs to be specifically set-up for MATLAB. There are seven recommended steps that need to be followed –
- Register your binary files with Git to avoid file corruption. (Required for all systems)
- Enable support for long paths for Git on a Windows system. (Recommended for Windows Systems)
- Configure MATLAB to sign commits. (Optional)
- Configure MATLAB to use Git SSH authentication or install a Git credential helper to prevent frequent login prompts. (Optional)
- Configure Git to use Git LFS if you are working with large files. (Optional)
- Configure external Git tools to use MATLAB for Diff and Merge. (Optional)
Each step is described in detail in this link - https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/set-up-git-source-control.html.
Once the setup process is completed, Git can be used in MATLAB. Refer to this link for more details on using Git in MATLAB - https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/use-git-in-matlab.html.
To change your repository, use the following command to update the remote URL. Replace“origin”and the URL with your remote name and new URL:
!git remote set-url origin https://new.git.server/your/repo.git
Run this command to ensure the URL has been updated correctly:
!git remote -v
Hope this helps!
