Managing your repositories

FishEye administrators can see all current repositories in the FishEye/Crucible instance in the Admin area. Note that users can see a similar list, without the admin functions, by clicking Source in the header.  

The list of repositories provides admin functions such as starting and stopping repository scans, disabling and enabling repositories, deleting repositories and configuring various repository settings. You can also add new internal and external repositories from the repository list page.

Viewing repositories

To view the repositories set up for your FishEye/Crucible instance, log in to the Admin area and click Repositories (under 'Repository Settings').

Use the filter in the table header to search for repositories by attributes in the table columns (Name, Type, Description, Location or State). For example you could filter on all the repositories named "foo" by typing "foo" or you could filter on the disabled repos by typing "disabled". Filtering is not case sensitive.

Use the paging controls at the top right of the table to browse all the available repositories.

Click Refresh in the table header to update the list of repositories. See Updater for information about polling the repositories.

 If you want to configure the default options for all repositories, click Defaults (under 'Repository Settings'). See Repository Options for more information.
