For each profile, you can configure the Profile panel of the New Generic VCS wizard by defining basic variables. The New Generic VCS wizard prompts the user for basic information when mounting that type of VCS filesystem. This information is stored in variables that the IDE uses when mounting the filesystem and running commands.
Typically, basic variables are pointers to specific directories or files. By default, basic variables are configured to allow the user to enter a string.
If either the Variable Is a Local File or the Variable is a Local Folder properties are set to True, a file chooser is included for that field in the customizer.
The value of the Label property is used as the display name for the variable's field in the customizer.
The Variable Selector property enables you to specify one of the profile's commands and obtain the variable's value from the command's standard output.
