Sync changes

You can sync recent changes to your files or all changes. Domino recommends that you sync your work at least daily.

Important

If you’re using a Git-based project, the navigation pane in your workspace is different than if you were using a Domino project. See Use Git in your workspace to learn more about saving and syncing your work using Git in a Git-based project.

Sync changes to files

When you sync changes to remote Git repositories, Domino fetches the latest content from the remote branch (git fetch), then commits local changes on top of the updated branch (git rebase), and then pushes the commits to the remote.

  1. Click File Changes in the navigation pane of your workspace.

  2. Under Files, expand File Changes to view changes.

  3. Enter a commit message.

  4. Click Sync to Domino. Changes to files in the /mnt directory of your workspace will be synced to the Domino File System (DFS). Changes to files outside of the /mnt directory will not be synced.

    Warning

    Files with names containing "?" can be saved in a workspace and synced to the DFS, but will not be viewable via the Code page.

  5. After syncing to Domino is complete, you can view your files in the Files section of your project.

Warning

When saving your work, remember that changes to files outside the /mnt directory will not persist if you stop your workspace and resume the workspace at a later time.

Force changes

When files are in conflict, you can choose to either resolve manually or force changes. Force my changes overwrites remote files with changes in your workspace. This means that the commit history on the remote will match the commit history in your workspace.
