How It Works
Section titled “How It Works”MirthSync bridges Mirth Connect’s database-centric architecture with modern DevOps practices. Pull configurations from any Mirth Connect or OIE server into Git-tracked files, edit with your favorite tools, then push changes back, all through the REST API.
Mirth Server ←→ MirthSync ←→ Git Repository (pull) CLI / Plugin / VS Code (push)No database access required. No server modifications. All three interfaces (CLI, plugin, and VS Code extension) share the same file structure and work interchangeably.
