Git and GitHub Pushing/Pulling

[JackAce]

I am experimenting with a GitHub-based repository and I'd like to use Red Gate Source Control to manage the database updates.

Can you *only* link SQL Source Control to a working folder with Git? Can you not link it directly with the server (e.g. GitHub)? If this is true, does it mean that I need to manually perform a "git pull" before I can "Get Latest" in SSMS? Do I need to manually perform a "git push" so that others may see my changes?

Thanks for your post- you're correct; currently SQL Source Control just links to a working folder.

The commands we run to do a commit etc. are stored in an XML file - you can click "manage config files" on the link page, and create a copy of the git.xml to edit for your own purposes... so it *may* be possible to create, say, a batch file that does a commit then a push as two steps, and call your batch file in git.xml. I don't know of anyone who's tried this; so there's no guarantee it'll work.

Longer term, we're hoping to support more systems "natively" including Mercurial, and possibly Git, so support may improve in the future.

How can I deactivate phantom licenses from machines that may not exist anymore? I have had my hard drive replaced twice in the past month and I registered the serial number each time (I was not able to deactivate it before the crash).
