Creating a Repo

Repositories, or “Repos” are where you create and store trust in the form of Assertions. In short, a Repo lets you define who can make what types of Assertions, about what types of Articles, and then who can see and build upon those Assertions.

Steps to creating a Repo:

1

Make sure that you are logged into WarmHub.

2

Navigate to the Organization (Org) that you want the Repo to belong to.

To navigate to the correct Org, you can use the Home link at the top of any page and then select the desired Org from the table.

3

On the Repos page of the selected Org, click the “+ Create Repo” button.

4

Give your Repo a Label that will help you and others understand the purpose and types of Assertions that will be stored in the Repo.

From the Label you enter, we will craft a name for your Repo that is URL safe, but you can always edit that name if you wish.

Because names must be URL safe, spaces and most special characters are not allowed, but underscores (_) and dashes (-) are.

Additionally, names are case insensitive, meaning that "TestName" and "testname" are the same name.

5

Add a Description to your repo that will help others understand what is in the Repo, and how they should use it.

6

Set the permissions for the Repo.

Private - Only member of the owning Org can see it

Public - Anyone can see it

7

Select a License

Select the License for the data and content in your Repo from the given options.
