Connecting IguanaX to a git Git repository enables:

  • Tracking Configuration Changes: View the Commit History to monitor changes across your IguanaX instance.

  • Automate Automatic Backups: Regularly back up your instance to a Git repository for safe storage.

title1. Connected To: Git repository for Connect the IguanaX instance to a Git repository to store all configurations.

Connect IguanaX to a Git repository to store all instance configurations.

  1. Configure the Git Instance: To add an instance repository, click Edit and either provide an existing repository URL or create a new repository in the Repository Management Screen.

  2. Manually Backup your Iguana: Use the git push button to manually perform a git push to push changes from the IguanaX instance to the Git repository. This is useful when you want to ensure immediate backup of the current state of your instance.

Any components or libraries not connected to a repository or configured as a plain folder will not be pushed to the Git Instance repository. If this occurs, a Push Warning will display to remind you that the following components were not backed up.
