Profile storage on GitHub

[onixpro]

hi,

It would be nice to have possibility to have profile stored in GitHub repository. And just have in configuration of abap-cleaner the link to the file in that repository. Which will fetch that file from time to time.

I would not expect from plugin to do pushes of changes of the changes to profile to GitHub(we will do that via normal git tools). But just that all team members will have updated version, and do not need to clone repository themselves.

Other approach we do is to store this in some shared folder, but the problem with that we have less possibility on "argue" about changes we would like to make to the profile, that we could've done in pull request.

Thanks, for your great work.

Hi onixpro,

the idea to store the common profile in a GitHub repository (and to discuss changes there etc.) is certainly a good one. However, could the regular fetching of that file maybe be done with an independent mechanism, e.g. with a scheduled task that downloads the current profile to the folder "%APPDATA%\SAP\ABAP cleaner\user\profiles" (Windows) or "~/Library/Application Support/com.sap.adt.abapcleaner/user/profiles" (macOS)?

I'd like to avoid access to external resources from within ABAP cleaner and possible complications (sign-in, credentials, …).

Kind regards,
Jörg-Michael
