      Configure a Metadata Repository in GitHub for your Project

      For each biGENIUS Project, you need a repository to store the Project’s metadata. This guide explains how to create and configure a metadata repository in GitHub, enabling you to manage your Project's metadata with Git version control. 

      Create a repository in GitHub

      To create a repository in GitHub:

      • Connect to GitHub with your account

      Ensure you are logged into GitHub with an account that has the necessary permissions to create a repository.

      • In the top bar, click on your Account picture and choose Your repositories menu:
      • Click on the New button
      • Fill in the following information:
          1. Owner: select the desired owner of the repository
          2. Repository name: fill in a name for the new repository
          3. Accessibility: choose Private

      Note: When creating a project in the Git repository, the folder and file structure will only be generated if the repository is empty (the README file can still exist).

        • Click on the Create repository button
        • Your new repository is created:

      You can now create a Project using the HTTPS URL of this metadata repository.
