Run a Plain Component from another Component's Commit

When a component stores Git commits in a plain folder, it can use another plain component's commit history, allowing for template creation and shared code execution — an alternative to collections, which require self-contained repositories.

Edit Using Commit and click the three dots to edit the selected commit.

In the Select a Commit window:

Choose a Component to view it’s commit history.
Check the option to Update component to run from the selected component.
Choose a commit from the selected component’s commit history to run your component.

Click confirm once you’ve made your selection.

You will now see the selected commit Id and the component guid on your component card. Click the green check mark to save the changes.

Use View Commit to verify the selected commit in read-only mode. For example, the commit for a “CSV-to-JSON” component is being used to run the “Plain Component”.

The component's project is not overwritten. Iguana uses the run directory to store the selected commit and execute the component.
