Git settings

You can customize how Git behaves in Anchorpoint. There are global and project based settings which you can change.

Global Settings

They are available under “Workspace Settings/ Git”

Combine Commit and Push

Sets the behavior for the button in the changed files textfield. Per default each commit will automatically trigger a push. You can disable that if you want to commit and push manually.

Automatically lock changed files

Anchorpoint locks every changed file by doing a check every minute. It is then write protected for other team members.

Show notifications for new commits

You will get a push notification for the current open project if a new commit shows up from a team member.

Project Settings

These settings are available under “Project Settings/ Git”

Repository URL

Shows the remote URL. normally you don’t need to change that.

Create .gitkeep files in new folders

By default, Git does not understand empty folders. If you e.g. want to create a folder structure with empty folders in a Git repository, Anchorpoint will add a hidden .gitkeep file so they can be uploaded to Git.

Automatically track all binary files as LFS

Anchorpoint creates the .gitattributes file automatically by adding all binary files which it detects in a commit. If you want to modify this file manually, disable the option.
