Hello jpitt,

Thanks for the response! This worked for me.

Hi Jui Yen Chua,

Simplicity Studio by itself does not have integrated Git support, but the "EGIT" Eclipse plugin can be installed and I believe that will do what you want.  In order to install EGIT or any other Eclipse plugin, the Eclipse Marketplace Client must first be installed.  To do that select [Install] > [Manage installed packages] and then select the [Tools] tab and scroll down until you see [EPP Marketplace Client] and click the [Install] button for it.  After it installs it will prompt you to restart Simplicity Studio.

After Simplicity Studio restarts, select [Help] > [Eclipse Marketplace...] and type "EGIT" in the Find box and then install it.

After accepting the license agreements and installing Egit, you will again be prompted to restart Simplicity Studio.  With Egit installed there are new Git preferences under the Team preference section and there is a Git perspective. 

From the Git perspective you can add an existing repository, Clone a Git repository or Create a new local Git repository.  For projects that are under source control there are various right click options on the project folder and individual files.

I hope this information is helpful.  Please see the Egit documentation if you have specific questions after installing the plugin.

Thank you,

jpitt

Hello,

I would like the Simplicity Studio 5 IDE to show the current changes compared to the code committed in git (within the same branch). After doing some quick search I found this link:
https://www.systutorials.com/how-to-make-eclipse-to-highlight-changed-lines-compared-to-git-commit/

However, under "Use this reference source" I could only find "Version on disk" as the available option. Do you know what I need to do so "A Git Revision" can be selected instead?

For version control, I currently navigate to the project folder and Git Bash there to manage the changes.

Thank you all in advance for helping!
