Creating a Repository for Qualitia Projects

After you configure SourceTree, you can now create a repository on the local system.

These steps should be performed by Bitbucket administrator who is responsible for creating and maintaining Bitbucket repositories.

To create a repository:

Launch SourceTree.
Click Create.
In the Destination Path, select a folder path where you would like to save and work on your local repository.
Enter the preferred repository name.
Repository name should not contain white spaces.
Select GIT.
Qualitia supports GIT repositories only. Support for Mercurial is not yet added.
Select the Create Repository on Account option.
In Repository Settings, Bitbucket account details appear that are added while configuring SourceTree.
Add Description, if required.
Select Is Private option to mark this repository as a private repository.
Keeping repositories private enables you to control who can access and update data from your repository. This is important to avoid discrepancy in the project data.
After the repository is created, add a sample text file into the repository and commit it.
To commit sample file,
1. Navigate into the folder where you have created the repository on the local system.
2. Create a new sample.txt file with sample text in it.
3. From SourceTree, stage the file and add comment, if required.
4. Select Push changes immediately option and click Commit.

This is a one-time activity for each repository you create on Bitbucket. Commiting sample file is mandatory for creating new branches into the repository to add Qualitia project data.
