How to link Git remote repository to Simulink Project

I am having trouble finding how to add a remote repository to my 'version control system' for a simulink project. I found I can add the repository as a submodule but this doesn't work for my purposes because I would like to link the entire project to a repository and not just a subfolder.

I would really appreciate any help here.

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi Christopher,

To create a Simulink Project with Git inside the main project folder, try the following steps:

1. Open MATLAB, click New and select Simulink Project in the dropdown
2. On the left side of the Start Page window, select Source Control
3. Select Git in the Source control integration dropdown window
4. Enter the remote path to the Git repository in the Repository path field. For example, https://mygitwebsite.com/myusername/myrepository.git
5. Select a location for the project in the Sandbox field
6. Click Retrieve

From here, the Git repository should be cloned and linked to the root directory.

Hi, I have tried this for my own project but I keep getting errors like: " Could not check out https://gitlab.myproject.git to /home/name/git/foldername with error: https://gitlab.myproject.git: cannot open git-upload-pack

Any advise?

I also have the same issue when using https authentication. Has this ever been resolved?
