Git Support

Starting erwin Data Modeler (DM) 12.0, you can connect erwin DM to Git repositories via Mart Server. This enables you to push Forward Engineering (FE) scripts for a Mart Model to GitLab or GitHub. You cannot store FE scripts or DDL on a Mart Server but only erwin models. With Git support you can adopt DevOps principles as you can commit FE scripts in Git repositories. Working with these repositories help you in:

  • DevOps adoption
  • collaboration with team members
  • version control
  • workflow management
  • data integrity

Pushing FE scripts to a Git repository involves:

  1. Connecting erwin DM to Mart Server
  2. Connecting erwin DM to a Git repository
  3. Opening a Mart Model and committing FE scripts

To summarize, following is the workflow to commit FE scripts.
