Code repository

For the purposes of Renku, a code repository is a git-based collection of code files, hosted at GitHub.com, GitLab.com, or similar.

When a code repository is connected to a Project, the repository is automatically cloned into the Session, where the files can be accessed and run.

Access to Code Repositories from RenkuLab​

If you wish you write (push) changes back to a code repository, activate the corresponding GitHub or GitLab integration.

In order to access a private code repository from RenkuLab, you'll need to connect your RenkuLab account with GitHub/GitLab.

Once you have connected your accounts, your access to the code repository in RenkuLab will match your access level on GitHub/GitLab:

  • If you are able to write to the repository (push and pull rights) you will see a green status.
  • If you are only able to read the repository (pull rights) you will see a yellow status.
  • If you do not have write access to the repository, you will see a red status.
