Creating a Repository

You can create a new repository on your personal account or any team where you have the necessary permissions.

You can create a new repository in Outpost Hub or import repository from other Git SCM providers.

Login to Outpost
  • Access your existing account or create a new one if necessary.
2
Navigate to the Repository Section
  • Click on Create New Repository.
3
Fill in Repository Details
  • Provide a Name and an optional Description.
  • Set the visibility to Public or Private.
4
Initialize Repository

Work with repositories

After creating a repository, you can:

  • Clone your repository.
  • Create branches and tags.
  • Commit changes and open pull requests.
  • Configure branch rules and access control.
  • Use Outpost repositories in your Outpost pipelines.
  • Set up triggers to automatically run pipelines based on activity in your Outpost repositories.
