Configuring a Remote Repository

Configuring a Remote Repository

An Archi model that has been added to the Collaboration Workspace also needs to be linked to an online Git repository so that local changes can be published (pushed) and refreshed (pulled). In order to implement this you need to create a blank online remote Git repository.

The following example uses GitHub.

1. Login to your GitHub account
2. Select "Repositories" and then "New Repository"
3. Configure the repository as required but with minimal extras. It doesn't need a license, a README file or a .gitignore file. It should probably be private.
4. Ensure that the default branch is named "main" 5, Copy the URL of the repository it can be HTTPS or SSH. For example:

HTTPS - https://github.com/YourAccount/repo.git
SSH -   [email protected]:YourAccount/repo.git

6. Select the repository in the Collaboration Workspace and ensure the Properties window is open.
7. Add the URL to the URL field of the "Repository" tab in the Properties window
8. Ensure that the correct authentication details are set in the "Authentication" tab in the Properties window

See Repository Properties for more details on setting these properties.

Once the remote repository has been correctly configured you can perform actions such as "Refresh" and "Publish".
