Repositories View

This view shows repository locations added by the user. Expanding a location reveals the project versions and streams in that repository. You can expand the project versions and streams to reveal the folders and files contained within them. You can also add resources to the workbench, open editors on files in the repository, view history, and compare resource versions.

Here is what the Repositories view looks like:

Go Home

This command redraws the view, showing the repository locations.

Go Back

This command redraws the view, showing the hierarchy that was displayed immediately prior to the current display.

Go Forward

This command redraws the view, showing the hierarchy that was displayed immediately after the current display.

Refresh View

This command refreshes the contents of the Repositories view.

 

From the context menu of the Repositories view you can do a number of interesting operations.  

New > Repository Location 

This command brings up the wizard to help you specify a new repository location. 

New > Stream

This command brings up the wizard to help you create a new stream in the repository

Open

This command opens the selected resource in an editor.  Since file resources in the repository are versions, the editor opens in a read-only state, so it is not modifiable. 

Show in Resource History

This command shows the version history of the selected resource in the Resource History view.

Compare

This command will perform a compare on two or three selected resources.

Add to Workspace

This command adds the selected resource to the workbench.

Version from Stream...

This command versions the selected resource based on the current stream contents.  This command is only available on projects.
