Managing Git Repositories in Junos Space

In Junos Space Network Management Platform, you can manage Git repository connections from the Git Repositories page of the Administration workspace. External Git repositories are added to Junos Space to enable the import of CLI Configlets and scripts from the repositories to the Junos Space database.

You can perform the following tasks from the Administration > Git Repositories page of Junos Space Platform:

Adding Git Repositories to Junos Space

You can add multiple Git repositories for importing CLI Configlets and scripts. While adding a Git repository to Junos Space, you can specify whether the Git repository is a configlets repository or a scripts repository.

To add a Git repository to Junos Space:

  1. On the Junos Space Platform UI, select Administration > Git Repositories.

    The Git Repositories page appears, displaying the Git repositories added to Junos Space.

    The Add Git Repository dialog box is displayed.

  3. In the Repository HTTPS URL field, enter the HTTPS URL of the Git repository.
  4. (Optional) In the User Name field, enter the username for accessing the Git repository.
    Note:

    If the Git repository does not require user credentials for access, you do not need to enter a username and password. If you choose to enter the username and password, you must enter values in both the fields.

  5. (Optional) In the Password field, enter the password of the Git user whose username you entered.
  6. (Optional) In the Confirm Password field, reenter the password.
  7. From the Type list, select the type of Git repository you are adding.

    You can select either Configlets or Scripts.

    When you set the active Git repository, the Git repository that was previously the active repository of that type is deactivated.

Setting the Active Git Repository

In Junos Space Platform, you can add multiple Git repositories, but you can designate only one configlets repository and one scripts repository as the active Git repositories for CLI Configlets and scripts respectively. CLI Configlets and scripts are imported from the active Git repository of that particular type. When you designate a Git repository as an active repository, the previously active repository of that type is no longer active.

    A confirmation message is displayed.

  4. Click Yes to confirm.

    The selected Git repository becomes the new active Git repository of that type. The previously active Git repository of the same type is no longer designated the active Git repository.

The Active column on the Git Repositories page displays Yes for the active Git repositories.

Testing the Connection to the Git Repository

After you add a Git repository to Junos Space, you can test the connection to make sure that the Git repository is accessible and CLI Configlets or scripts can be imported, depending on the type of Git repository that you added.

To test the connection to the Git repository:

  1. On the Junos Space Platform UI, select Administration > Git Repositories.

    The Git Repositories page appears, displaying the Git repositories added to Junos Space.
