This code that you see at the bottom left corner of the Git Winch Client Application represents the organization …or the division in the organization. It is not set in the .ini file. Instead, there is a special file named orgname.txt in the same folder where the application was installed. The contents of this file is used as this code. We call this the “orgname”.

NOTE: Only a maximum of first 10 characters are used! If the file contains more text, the rest would be ignored.

Changing this Org or Division Code
Usually, you would use only ONE orgname code and use that always. But in some offices, the same person may be working in two different divisions. In that case, you may want to change this orgname.

The recommended way to change the organization code is to change the contents of the file orgname.txt present in the application folder. When you start Git Winch it is this file which sets the initial orgname.

There is another way to change the organization code: Double click on the orgname, and it will prompt you for the new orgname.

IMPORTANT
If you work on repositories which are from different orgnames then it will give a warning and/or work incorrectly if you try out some functions on a repository that was different from the current orgname.
