You can start working on the Qualitia projects which are already added to the Bitbucket repository by other Qualitia user. In order to do so, you need to clone the corresponding repository and checkout corresponding projects on local system.

At the end of this topic, Qualitia users will be able to clone the repository and checkout the desired Qualitia project.


To start working on existing Qualitia projects from Bitbucket:

  • SourceTree v2.6.10
  • Valid Atlassian account for using Bitbucket 
  • Qualitia Client
  • Read and Write access to the repository in which Qualitia project exists
  • Access to Qualitia project which you want to work on

  1. Download and install SourceTree.
  2. Post installation, launch SourceTree.

  5. Enter the preferred repository name.
  6. In Checkout Branch, select the Qualitia project you want to start working on.

  8. After you clone, copy the Bitbucket repository path from the local system and add it as a Project Path (in Configuration Setting > Dependency).
