Find all repositories
Situation
You are looking for a particular repository and do not know which project it belongs to — or you want to see which repositories are open to you altogether.
Approach
The page Projects and repositories (German) lists every repository across all projects under Repositories, filtered by what your account may see. Somebody who works with repositories only opens Repositories instead: the same table without the project list above it. The route through a single project is the third — the same list is there, narrowed to that one project.
Procedure
- Open Projects and repositories and click the number beside Repositories at the top; it jumps to the table.
- Enter part of the repository or project name in the search field and confirm with Filtern.
- Narrow to a single project through the Projekt selector. It appears only where more than one project is open to you.
- Open a repository via its name.
- Use the menu behind the name for the row's actions: browse source, clone address, cloning instructions. Only what your account may actually do in that repository is offered.
The list is paged; page number and filter are in the address and can be bookmarked.
What the columns mean
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Repository | The name as the source control system carries it. Opens the repository screen. |
| Project | The project the repository is assigned to. |
| Visibility | How openly the repository is mounted: private, read-only, team or public. |
| Default branch | The branch the connected system carries as its default. |
| Your role | Your own role in the owning project. |
Remarks
The count above the table counts only rows you may see. It is therefore not a statement about the total holding — “no repository” means “none for this account”, not “none present”.
Columns without values are dropped. The default branch comes from a collective enquiry to the connected system that covers a whole project at once and is cached; where the connection is switched off or unreachable, the column is dropped rather than a likely name asserted. Main language and last activity would cost one enquiry per row and are therefore not gathered at all; they are on the opened repository.
Somebody who expects a repository and does not find it can request access; see Request access.
