To use JadeGit for existing systems, the following steps need to be carried out to initialize the source code repository.
Make a new folder and initialize a new bare repository using git init.
As the extract can take awhile, it's recommended existing schemas be extracted from a backup of production systems, taken after the last code release.
All existing schemas can be extracted using the following commands. The extract command stages changes in-memory until they're committed. Schemas may also be extracted more selectively using a specific regex and/or list of schema names.
Once schemas have been extracted, the changes staged need to be committed using the commit command.
Once ready, the local repository needs to be pushed to a remote repository developers can clone.
This depends on setting up a new remote repository using your preferred platform (GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps). Once created, it can be added to the local repository and then pushed to.
