Is it possible to commit remote changes in remote repos in Tower?


Local repo Remote repo

I really like the workflow for commits in Tower. However I need to do my development on a remote server for various reasons. Is it possible to use tower to make commits on that server somehow?

As you can see on the images, regardless of what I select, I only get the local changes. (on the remote called Dev, plenty of other changes are being made)


Solution

  • In Git, remote repositories are "bare" which means they don't have a working directory. Therefore, version-controlled changes can't be made in a remote repository.

    Changes should only be made and committed in your local repository.
