Using the Custom Version Control System
The custom version control system is a configurable addition to the Hitachi Embedded Workshop, which allows
you to connect to a version control system already installed on your machine. To clarify further, the Hitachi
Embedded Workshop does not provide a version control tool itself, only a means by which you can integrate the
version control system, which you use into your workspaces and projects.
8.1 Defining Version Control Menu Options
The custom version control system allows you to invoke a version control command either by selecting an
option from the [Tools-> Version Control] sub-menu or by clicking a version control toolbar button. When
either of these actions are performed, the associated commands are executed and the output is displayed in the
“Version Control” tab of the “Output” window.
To execute a version control menu option or toolbar button:
1. Select whichever items you would like to apply the version control command to from the “Workspace”
window. This may include a workspace, project(s), folder(s) and file(s). When the command is selected,
all of the files will be extracted from the selected items and passed, in turn, to the version control
command. For example, if you select the workspace icon then all of the files in all of the projects will be
passed, in turn, to the version control command. This will include any system files. For example if you
select the project item then
2. Select the required menu option from the [Tools->Version Control] sub-menu or click the desired
version control toolbar button.
The custom version control support allows you the most flexibility in specifying how a version control system is
to be used. To configure it, select [Version Control->Configure…]. The “Version Control Setup” dialog will be
displayed (figure 8.1).
