Code browser views

Perforce TeamHub supports editing and committing from the UI for Mercurial, WebDAV, Git, and P4 Git repositories. This includes when the reference is a branch, not just a tag or a specific commit.

TeamHub provides a browser view of code stored in a particular repository. The browser view presents the code in a more accessible, readable form. It also lets you edit the code and commit your changes to the repository. TeamHub supports syntax highlighting for a large number of languages. For a list of supported languages, see Syntax highlighting support.

View code

• Select a file name.

  

The number of spaces used to represent a tab can be set between 1 and 8. To change the number of spaces used, set Tab-size from the Gear button above the file (not available for Microsoft Internet Explorer).

Edit code

1. In the top right, select Edit file. The view switches to edit mode.

   
2. Make any required changes.

TeamHub may encounter difficulties displaying file content in browser view if the file:

• Is empty
• Is too long/big
• Contains unreadable content

In these cases, TeamHub displays the following message:

This file is empty or its contents cannot be displayed. Select here to download the file.

On the Raw tab, you can always view file content in plain code view.
