(I sure had looked at the recipe in
https://xcore.com/viewtopic.php?p=29272#p29272. But I didn't see the scope yesterday)
I was checking up some on GitLab now. It looks to me that even local projects, running on my machine, the issue tracking system GitLab will run as a Safari client (or any browser) with the GitLab system running on GitLab's servers? And if I make a project with my system, private, it will still run everything on that server? Even my metafiles for the system, they will reside remotely? And where does the xTIMEcomposer pluginability come in?
When I run GitLab's tutorial it seems wide too complex with lost of command windows to run the functionality in. I almost get turned off. It is not enough to have a soft voice explaining matters. With the Tortoise client for Git I could run locally (Windows, at work) but the others thought that running git commands was better than the GUI. I am not there. I will never be able to build up that expertise and experience for me even wanting to start.
But Git is nicely integrated into xTIMEcomposer and commands are easily available in the GUI. And I don't need a server to handle Git since I work alone on my single machine and don't (at least not so far) need to run a git server. (As seen in the url above I do move along to another machine some times, but only with the sources, just for building and flashing a unit that can't be easily removed).
That is the level I want to be at. Real long ago (some 1978-1992) we just used a text file for this, but it's not practical any more with each issue having state (new, started, done, tested etc.). I want to add an issue from the xTIMEcomposer and I want it to get a tag (like "AQUA=1") and I want that tag (if used in the code or in the Git commit text) to be seen when I commit in Git so that I can easily see which issue that commit was related to. I am
so amateur on this, and
so naive, since I am used to the gurus just setting matters up at work. But I have retired now and do need something here at home.
Maybe the right place to ask is at the Eclipse forum?
Maybe I just need a Todo editor like
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content ... creenshots?
Will any plugin to Eclipse
not break xTIMEcomposer, by the way?
Maybe MantisBT is an answer anyhow? (No it's not free and it's web based)
I admit this is a messy text. But I am afraid it matches my state quite well..
