abapGit ​

This project uses abapGit for version control and easy code distribution.

Installing abapGit ​

abapGit is itself ABAP, installed once per system before anything else in this documentation can be pulled. The abapGit installation guide covers both flavors: the standalone report, which is one program to create and activate and is enough to pull abap2UI5, and the developer version pulled with it afterwards. ABAP Cloud systems — BTP ABAP Environment and S/4 Public Cloud — use abapGit for Eclipse in ADT instead; the S/4 Public Cloud page walks through that pull screenshot by screenshot. With abapGit in place, the Quickstart is the next page.

Git Client ​

We build all project artifacts directly in an ABAP system and store them in a GitHub repository through abapGit. This makes the project easy to install on any customer system. We publish updates right away, and any user can pull them whenever they want.

Apps as abapGit Artifacts ​

Beyond the abap2UI5 core framework, all abap2UI5 apps live as ABAP classes — abapGit-managed objects — so you can install them through abapGit without any manual deployment, unlike traditional UI5 apps.

You can also install multiple abap2UI5 apps with a single abapGit pull. This works smoothly in ABAP Cloud environments and cuts deployment overhead.
