Overview

MirthSync Plugin Overview

All-in-one Admin Console extension with embedded Git, MirthSync CLI, and graphical interface. Install once, version control immediately—no separate tools required.

The MirthSync Plugin brings enterprise-grade version control directly into the Mirth Connect Admin Console. Unlike the CLI which requires terminal access, the plugin provides a complete graphical interface for Git operations, configuration management, and team collaboration—all within the familiar Admin Console environment you already use daily.

What makes it all-in-one: A single JAR file contains embedded Git (no separate installation), the complete MirthSync CLI (built-in), and a full graphical interface (point-and-click operations). After installation, you have immediate access to version control, branching, pull requests, and deployment workflows without installing anything else.
