Prepare to use online repositories

To use the online feature, SSL must be setup. Offline projects will work behind firewalls and without SSL.

To use the online Repos, it is necessery to add the certificates of the Repo hosting site to the SAP trust center (STRUST)

I used Firefox to go to https://github.com and click on the lock icon and then “More Information …” and there “View Certificate” Switch to the Details Tab and choose each certificates of the tree and export each to a file.

Clone a online Repository

Click the “Clone” link

Enter the url for the github project, eg. https://github.com/se38/zJSON.git along with a package name, eg. ZJSON. If the package doesn’t exits, click ‘Create package’.

Click ok and it will now copy all objects from the git repository into the SAP system
