Git management inside the Ignition Designer

Manage Git from the Designer instead of bouncing to a terminal.

Ignition Git Manager is an Ignition 8.3.3+ add-in that brings day-to-day Git operations into the Designer: stage, commit, remote fetch, pull, push, branch, merge, remote management, and reload actions.

  • Built specifically for the Ignition Designer workflow
  • Native Git backend for parity with real Git behavior
  • Gateway-aware repo paths, reload actions, and service account context

What the project is

An Ignition module focused on Git operations where Ignition users actually work.

Main pitch

The product exists to manage Git from inside the Ignition Designer. That means the common workflow can stay close to the project instead of relying on a second tool for every routine operation.

How it works

The module runs Git operations against gateway-local repositories and exposes them through a Designer manager window plus a compact toolbar.

Target environment

Built for Ignition 8.3.3+ with repositories commonly stored under the Ignition data directory and managed in the gateway context.

What it does

Designed around the Git operations an Ignition team actually needs.

Repository control

  • Discover repositories under Ignition data
  • Initialize repositories in data or a custom gateway path
  • Inspect status directly from the Designer

Daily Git workflow

  • Stage changes and commit from the manager window
  • Optional stage-all-before-commit flow
  • Fetch, pull, and push from the manager without leaving the Designer

Branch and remote operations

  • Create, checkout, and merge branches
  • Add, update, remove, and fetch remotes
  • Use native Git behavior instead of a separate embedded Git engine

Ignition-specific utilities

  • Reload project changes from disk
  • Reload system files from disk
  • Designed around gateway service account execution

Current functionality

What the current release supports right now.

Initialize repositories

Create repositories directly in Ignition data, in a subfolder under data, or at another gateway-local path.

Stage and commit

Stage specific paths or stage everything, then commit with explicit author metadata from the manager window.

Add and manage remotes

Add a remote, update its URL, remove it, and fetch, pull, or push without leaving the Designer.

Create and switch branches

Create a branch from a start point, checkout another branch, and merge source branches inside the same manager UI.

Reload Ignition after changes

Trigger project and system file rescans after a pull or merge so Ignition sees file updates on disk.

Common workflow from the toolbar

Use the Designer toolbar for manager, init, stage, commit, pull, push, reload project changes, and reload system files.

Technical notes

Operational detail that matters in production.

Native Git backend

The gateway executes the installed git binary, which helps keep behavior aligned with the machine’s real Git configuration and SSH setup.

Gateway execution model

Git commands run as the Ignition gateway service account, so repository access, SSH keys, and credential helpers need to be configured for that account.

Current scope

The current release focuses on core Git operations from inside the Designer. Clone, tags, stash, diff view, and conflict resolution are not included yet.
