Danger Zone

This section contains critical Git settings, such as disconnecting Git from the Bonita UI Builder.

Disconnect Git

Permanently disconnect your Bonita UI Builder application from Git.

Once disconnected, you will not be able to reconnect to the same repository. To reconnect, you will need to connect to a new empty repository.

Branch Settings

git branch settings

Default branch

Currently, you cannot change the default branch, which determines the base branch of your application.

Branch protection

Currently, only one branch can be set as protected to prevent changes.

By default, Bonita UI Builder protects the default (master/main) branch, which means that direct changes to this branch are restricted. To make changes, create a new branch, make your updates, and then merge them into the default branch via a pull request / merge request.
