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" }]Replace the username and password with the actual settings you want to use. |
| 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": "git@github.com:username/repo.git", "privkey_file": "keys/keyfile.txt", "pubkey_file": "keys/keyfile.pub.txt" }]Replace the URL with the actual URL you want to use. If the location of your keys differs from step 2, change the values accordingly. |
| 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.
