IguanaX uses Git and a Git hosting service to support building and managing integrations. By leveraging a Git hosting service you can:

  • Backup and store integrations in external repositories

  • Collaborate efficiently on integration projects

  • Safely deploy integrations from development, test, to production

  • Quickly standardize implementations as you create common libraries and collections

Currently, IguanaX supports connecting with:

  • Bitbucket

  • GitLab

  • Github

  • Azure DevOps

You can configure your Git host in Iguana’s Settings > Git.

If you aren’t using a git hosting service, it’s quick and easy - see Creating a Free Bitbucket Account!

IguanaX components and libraries are hosted in Git Collections in Bitbucket. To use IguanaX, your instance requires read access to http://Bitbucket.org . Sometimes the product needs new versions of the components and vice-versa - it is important to keep things in sync.

Talk to your firewall administrator and ask them to open up bitbucket.org, use our page for the correct network access needed for IguanaX: Network Access - where Iguana needs to connect.

If you haven’t got access to it then you are likely to see this when you try and create a component:

In order to support this functionality, Git must be installed on the server hosting Iguana. If you need to, refer to Installing Git.
