Git collections are how IguanaX findsCollections are curated lists of git repositories containing reusable components and libraries, allowing users to easily access frequently used resources. The Settings Collections page is where you will create and manage all of your Collections.

IguanaX relies on Collections to find:

  • Custom components to populate into the Components screen, and

  • Libraries to populate the Libraries screen in the translator

They are integral to the design of the platform.

When you install Iguana X there are currently three “builtin” GIT collections bundled with the install. These enable you to create components to handle the most common tasks.

It is possible that more collections will be added in future installs.
