Commit your project to Git and deploy to the cloud

Log into SAP Cloud Platform by opening the following URL in a new tab: https://account.hanatrial.ondemand.com

Make sure you are using the Europe (Trial) landscape, and click on your account name to open the cockpit view.

In the left-hand navigation bar, select Repositories > Git Repositories.

Click on New Repository, and enter the following details:

Make sure the Create empty commit box is checked, click OK and your repository will be created.

Click on the te2016 repository link to open the repository overview page.

On the repository overview page, copy the Repository Browser URL and paste it into the field below and click Validate.

On the repository overview page, copy the Git Repository URL:

Open SAP Web IDE in a browser window (or in an existing one), right-click on your te2016 project folder and select Git > Initialize Local Repository.

An alert box will appear in the upper right corner of your SAP Web IDE window.

Click the Set Remote link in the alert and paste in the Git Repository URL you copied earlier. You can leave the Add configuration for Gerrit unchecked and click OK.

This will initialize your local repository and link it to the Git repository in HCP.

Click on the Git pane icon on the right hand side bar of the SAP Web IDE window.

If your project does not appear in the Git pane, keep the Git pane open and click on the project folder.

To allow SAP Web IDE to see remote branches in the SAP Cloud Platform Git repository, click the Fetch button on the Git pane and log in with your email address and SAP Cloud Platform account password if prompted.

When the Changes Fetched dialog box opens, click OK.

Click the Merge button on the Git pane to merge your local branch to the remote origin/master branch.

When the Merge “master” dialog box opens, make sure the origin/master remote branch is selected and click OK.

At this point your Git repository is set up.

The next steps will commit and push your project files to the repository.

You may select individual files to commit, but to commit all project files, click the Stage All checkbox.

Scroll down in the Git pane and enter a description (required for any commits) like Initial commit.

Click on the Commit and Push button, and select Remote Branch, from the pop up menu.

This will add your files to the master branch (in other source control systems this is sometimes referred to as the “trunk”).

In the Push Changes to a remote branch dialog box, select origin/master, click OK and log in with your SAP Cloud Platform credentials if prompted.

You will see a confirmation alert appear briefly in the top-right corner of the Web IDE window (just below Logout), and you will see the decorations change to the green circles indicating that the files in your project match the versions in the Git repository.

Deploying your app, is very simple.

Right-click on your te2016 project folder, and select Deploy > Deploy to SAP Cloud Platform.

Log in with your account number, email and password.

In the Deploy Application to SAP Cloud Platform dialog box, confirm that Deploy a new application, and the Activate checkbox are both selected. Click Deploy.

In the Successfully Deployed confirmation dialog, click the Open the active version of the application link to launch your app.

Click on Baleda in the master list, copy the URL that updates in the browser, paste it into the text field below and click Validate.

Your app, running on SAP Cloud Platform, will open in a new tab.

You can enter the URL in your phone and see it running there as well. Since the URL is fairly long, you can email it to yourself and click the link in your email.
