# Using Git Commands

SimplifyQA Code Editor provides built-in scripts to help you compile your custom code and push it to your Git repository for use in test automation.

### Publishing Custom Jar to Git/BitBucket

After writing and building your custom method, you can publish it directly to your **Git repository** by using the `publish.bat` command.

#### Example: Publishing the code to GitLab

* Open the terminal in your **Code Editor** project directory
* One-Time Setup-
  * Once the custom methods are written and are error free, run the command:

    ```
    publish.bat
    ```

  * A **one-time pop-up** will appear prompting you to log in:
    * Git URL: Your GitLab repository URL will bce auto-populated
    * Username: Your GitLab username
    * Token: Your GitLab Personal Access Token
* After successful authentication, **run the command again**: 

  ```
  publish.bat
  ```
* This will publish the custom jar to your GitLab repository and automatically generate a new tag.\
  You can verify it by visiting your GitLab project and navigating to:\
  `Repository → Tags`\
  This tag contains your updated `[Project_Name].jar` with the custom method, allowing version tracking and easy reuse.

### Other Commands (Windows)

* **`build.bat`**:\
  Use this command before publishing to compile your code and generate the JAR file containing the new custom methods.
* **`push.bat`** *(optional)*:\
  If you want to only push your code (without publishing), use this command after building.
* `sync.bat`:\
  Use this command after building the jar to sync the actions directly into the tool.

### Mac Equivalent Commands

* **`./macBuild.sh`** – for compiling the code (like `build.bat`)
* **`./macPublish.sh`** – for publishing the compiled code to Git (like `publish.bat`)
* `./macSync.sh`: for syncing the actions directly into the tool (like `sync.bat`)

In addition to these specific commands, users can also utilize standard Git commands such as `clone`, `push`, and `pull`, as well as common Maven commands as needed.
