Repositories

A repository contains its source files and Git history. Public repositories are readable by anyone; private repositories require permission.

Browse source

Open a repository from your dashboard or Explore. The repository page lets you browse files, commits, branches, and tags. Use the clone address shown on that repository rather than guessing its URL.

Clone locally

Copy the HTTPS or SSH clone address from the repository page, then run:

git clone <repository-clone-url>

HTTPS and SSH require different authentication setups. Add a personal access token or SSH key in your account settings before attempting an authenticated push. Your organization may restrict which method you can use.

Make a change

Create a branch, commit your work, and push it to a repository where you have write access. If the target repository uses protected branches, open a pull request and follow its review and check requirements. See Issues and pull requests.

Large file and release-asset support can depend on the target deployment's configuration. Check the repository's own instructions before adding large binaries.
