Hello All,

  I have used github (outside of IRIS) for many many years and have no problem with it.  Also used SVN and other source control systems.

  I have a conceptual problem understanding the ISC github links and how they work via VSCode.

https://github.com/intersystems/git-source-control

 Our server is on Linux.

What I've done:

1. On Linux Server - d ##class(SourceControl.Git.API).Configure()

2. Create a local repo (we have a local git), say https://repo/myrepo

3. VSCode installed Object script addons, github Pull requests extension

4. VSCode Connect to namespace on server, all good

5. VSCode Initialize a repo on my local PC (VSCode likes to default use c:\ which was fun for a while)

6. Change PCK.Class1 and commit (now everything fails)

So I ask WHERE is the master?

1. https://repo/myrepo?

2. /linuxserver/repo/myrepo (created by d ##class(SourceControl.Git.API).Configure()))?

3. Or inside the IRIS.DAT?

How does /linuxserver/repo keep uptodate from https:/repo/myrepo if the linux directory isn't a repo?

If we have PCK.Class1(v1) on the linuxserver and //myrepo

If I amend and push PCK.Class1(v2) (via ifs) there is now different version on IRIS (IRIS.DAT) compared to /linuxserver/repo and to //myrepo

I've obviously lost a huge understanding of how IRIS.DAT (for want of a better word) and /linusserver/repo stay instep.

And if I create a local repo (c:\repo\myrepo2) from //myrepo and commit and push how does that get to /linuxserver/repo and then into IRIS.DAT?
