Under Platform Admin → Storage & Repositories, you define the Git repositories CYPEX uses to fetch extensions. Basically, you give CYPEX access to a Git repository which contains all of the extensions in a format accessible to CYPEX:
Repository Configuration
Configured repositories list their Title, User Name, Path, Branch, and a masked Personal Access Token. Actions let you test the connection, edit, or delete a repository.
The configuration is straightforward — add the Git data and test the connection. CYPEX is then fully connected and you can easily add extensions to the system as needed. Click + Add to open the form:
New Configuration
Username, Personal Access Token, Base URL, Repository Full Path, Repository Branch, and a display Title. Test connection validates the credentials before saving.
What is of vital importance here is the use of the personal access token. GitHub has recently added some security precautions which make this feature necessary.
WarningThe Personal Access Token is masked by default in the repository list — click the eye icon only when you need to verify it, and never share a screenshot or log with it revealed.
- Extensions — install SQL fragments from a configured repository.
- Repository Applications — load entire applications.
- Connector Execution — release connector versions into tenants.
