git and manual scm project type integration

Hi,
I am new to awx, so, sorry if my question is redundant. When people work, they try to keep their history free from committing mistakes, ie junk versions of code that they know is defective from the start, that is I guess the motivation for using “Manual SCM Type” projects with awx, so that you can test things before you decide to push them to scm repository, such as git, or whatever they use. However, is there a possibility to create the manual directory, populate it via git clone, and do git commit and git push from that directory, all that via awx web console, or do all these things have to be performed manually via separate ssh session on awx host?

Regards,
Hrvoje

Git is done outside of awx. You can create branches in git that are code in development and use those branches within awx in test projects allowing you to use awx against development branches of your SCM. We have projects with inventory that are use to test dev branches before the PR is merged and is part of the release branch for the main project.
