Using a Git repository

Introduction

Development in UiPath Process Mining is done collaboratively. To facilitate this, and to keep track of changes, Git is used. A Git server can be used by multiple installations of UiPath Process Mining.

There are two methods in which you can incorporate Git:

• A local Git repository, managed by UiPath Process Mining.
• A Git repository you manage yourself. This can either be your own Git server, or even a GitHub repository.
  Note: Whichever Git repository you choose to use, you should make sure to only make changes through UiPath Process Mining. Performing Git operations manually (e.g. through the Git command-line tools) may interfere with the proper operation of UiPath Process Mining.

Local repository

Follow these steps to use a local repository within the UiPath Process Mining installation.

Step	Action
1	Login on the Superadmin page.
2	Go to the Settings tab.
3	In the Repositories text field, use the following value: [{ "url": "mvlocal:upstream.git}]
4	Press CTRL+S to save the changes and reload the page to apply them.

Username and password

Follow these steps to use a Github account using a username and password.

Step	Action
1	Go to the Settings tab.
2	In the Repositories text field, use the following value: [{"url": "https://github.com/username/repo.git", "user": "username", "pass": "password}]
3	Press CTRL+S to save the changes and reload the page to apply them.

Hide password

In case you do not want passwords clearly visible in the settings, you can also use a public and private key pair. You will need access to the filesystem of the server.

Follow these steps to use a public and private key pair.

Step	Action
1	Obtain public and private keys for the Github repository you want to use.
2	Place them in the databases directory in PLATFORMDIR. It is recommended to place them in a subdirectory, for example, respectively for the private and public keys: • <PLATFORMDIR>\databases\keys\keyfile.txt • <PLATFORMDIR>\databases\keys\keyfile.pub.txt
3	Go to the Settings tab.
4	In the Repositories text field, use the following value: [{"url": "[e-mail]:username/repo.git", "privkey_file": "keys/keyfile.txt", "pubkey_file": "keys/keyfile.pub.txt}]
5	Press CTRL+S to save the changes and reload the page to apply them.

A Git server is connected to UiPath Process Mining. Your developers can start committing and collaborating.
