Code Repository

This guide explains how you can access the Temenos Explorer source code repository, clone this to your local machine and create a branch in which to do your development.

Repository Access​

The Temenos Explorer source code is managed in a BitBucket code repository which can be accessed from the Temenos network or via Temenos VPN. The repository name is Transact Middle Office.

  • Temenos Employees - If you do not have the required permissions to access the BitBucket repository, raise an ATLCONSO ticket requesting access to TMO Bitbucket.

  • Clients - please request the “DeveloperPack_TemenosExplorer” from distribution@temenos.com

  • Partners - please request the “DeveloperPack_TemenosExplorer” via your client as above

Step 2: Create a Branch​

If a branch has not already been created for you to work in, then you will need to create one.

You must never work directly in the root development default branch.

  3. When prompted, enter a short, unique and descriptive name for your branch

Using the Terminal

  1. Go to the terminal (select "Terminal -> New Terminal" from the file menu if no terminal is open)
  2. Run the command git checkout -b ${branchName} development where ${branchName} is the name of your new branch

Step 3: Select a Branch​

You must ensure your branch is selected before you start work.
