Hi Frank,
You've likely figured this out by now, but so that others can see the answer if they're searching.
I had the same questions, and since your question wasn't answered, I put a help ticket in with SmartBear to find out.
Here is their answer:
Currently the git plugin does not support multiple projects in a single repo. A feature request was created for another user so I will make sure that your request is also added to it to increase visibility.
You cannot put the project in a repo with other projects in it. You will be prompted choose whether to merge them. It is recommended that you put the project as root of an empty repo.
Looks like for now, if we want separate SoapUI projects in the same repo, we have to handle Git management outside of Ready API.
Best,
Ken
For what it's worth, I originally started with all of my SoapUI projects contained within the same project within GIT. At first, this made it really easy as I was the only one on the Test team, and it made sense. I was the source of truth and it made it a lot easier for me to just commit my work for the day once, instead of for 30 different projects.
Ultimately, it came to be one of the worst things I did. Developers had a hard time pulling down my projects due to how large they were. They didn't want everything, they just wanted the project for their service.
I ended up breaking every project out into individual git repositories and it was better, overall. It allowed for more flexibility and upkeep. There was a little more overhead, and I had to keep better track of how I committed, but in the end it ended up being much cleaner and straight forward to deal with. Not only for the developers, but for myself as well.
