Installation and Licensing

Installation

The StarTeam Git Client files are installed as part of the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client.

Microsoft Windows

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\StarTeam Cross-Platform Client <version #>\.

Linux
  1. Run the git-st-setup file under <StarTeam Cross Platform Client install folder>/bin.
  2. Update your Path environment variable to include <StarTeam Cross Platform client> install folder.

For running the utility and command syntax, see Commands.

Note: Because the StarTeam Git Client capability is bundled within the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client, any installation (and uninstallation) instructions can be found in the StarTeam Installation Guide. For example, to uninstall the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client (and thereby uninstall the StarTeam Git Client), use the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client Uninstall option on the Windows Start menu. If uninstalling the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client, please be sure other StarTeam applications are not using the SDK.

Licensing

Users of the StarTeam Git Client must provide their valid StarTeam credentials when submitting commands. As such, each user must have a valid StarTeam license.

User Credentials

Newer versions of Git (for example, Git for Microsoft Windows 2.13.3) support Git Credentials Manager, which provides a way to securely store credentials on Microsoft Windows . If the Git Credentials Manager was enabled during the installation of Git, StarTeam Git Client will use it to store the credentials of the StarTeam user in Microsoft Windows Credential Store. The user will be prompted to enter their StarTeam credentials once during clone and will not be prompted to enter on every subsequent pull/push command (if username and password are not specified as part of the command).

Note: The credentials can be edited/removed from the Control Panel > Credential Manager.
