In IguanaX, its important to understand How Components use Git.

Ensure each component is linked to a remote git repository using the Repository Management Screen.

Collections provide a catalogue of components and libraries, allowing you to easily add template components and libraries to your Iguana instances and interface projects. Collections store the component or library name, description, and Translator project repository.

By adding components that are ready for promotion to a collection, they become available to any IguanaX instance with that collection and can quickly be added to target Iguana instances. See how to Add Components to Collections.

When you commit changes in the Translator, these are committed locally within your working directory. You can then push the changes to the linked upstream git repository. See Commit and Push Changes to Git.

If there are new commits in the repository that you haven't yet incorporated into your project, before pushing your changes, you will need to pull in and merge the latest commit to ensure your work is fully up to date and you are collaborating on an interface safely.

All changes can be tracked externally in your git service.

Configure the component:

• Custom fields. Add implementation specific configurations. Only the custom field default values are stored in the git repository, therefore any values without a default will need to be manually entered on the component card. This ensures that sensitive data stays local and you don’t overwrite environment configurations (e.g., if your dev and prod point to the same repository, you won’t push your dev database credentials to the prod component).

• Connections. You can edit connections on the dashboard or can select a linear connection when adding the components to Iguana.
