Work with Branches in GitHub and SAP Web IDE

Go to https://account.hanatrial.ondemand.com and log in to your SAP Cloud Platform cockpit.

To open SAP Web IDE, click the Services tab in the navigation bar, scroll down and click the SAP Web IDE tile to open the SAP Web IDE service page.

You’ll have to clone the GitHub organization repository in SAP Web IDE. To do this

From the File menu in SAP Web IDE, click on Git > Clone repository.

Enter your GitHub account credentials and post the repository URL.

The repository is now cloned.

Create a branch to which you will make the changes.

Click the Git pane on the right-hand side and then click the + icon next to the branch label to create a branch.

Give a suitable name for the branch and then click OK.

The branch is created and the branch that you are working with is displayed in the Git pane.

Since this branch is dedicated to milestone m1 milestone changes which has 2 issues to be targeted, you will implement the changes for each of these in separate commits.

For issue#1 you will do changes in S3_PurchaseOrderDetails.view.xml to remove the OrderedByName entry.

Notice that when you save the changes, the Git pane shows the file that was changed. To commit the changes to the repository, click the Stage checkbox, enter a change description, and then click Commit.

GitHub will automatically close an issue if your commit message includes certain keywords once this change is merged into the master branch. You will see this in the next tutorial.

Click Commit to commit changes to the repository and then Push and select Remote branch to push the changes to GitHub.

Now if you check the m1 branch on the GitHub organization repository, you will see that the push has been completed and the changes are seen on GitHub.

Similarly you can address other remaining issues targeted for m1 milestone and commit and push the changes.
