Create Repository

Repositories in SpecLog can either be stand-alone (local file) or shared (published on a SpecLog server). Stand-alone repositories can subsequently be published to a server, and shared repositories can be cloned as a stand-alone repository.

To create a new repository:

1. Select Create Repository from the main menu. The Create repository dialogue is displayed:
   
2. Click in the Repository file name field or on the Browse directories button next to it, navigate to the desired folder and enter a name for the repository file.
   The repository file stores all data in a stand-alone repository or the local cache of a shared repository.
3. Select the Repository language.
   The repository language determines the default Gherkin parsing language and the behaviour of the search. It also determines the language used by the in-built spell checker (you can disable the spell checker in the repository settings).
4. If you want to create a shared repository on a SpecLog server, check Create as shared repository and enter the Server URL. The server URL should include the transport protocol ("http://" or "https://"), the server name and port number, e.g. http://MyServer.com:4242
   Refer to Secure Server Connection for more information on configuring HTTPS on the server.
   Note: You can only create a shared repository on a server if you are a registered user on the server.
5. Click on Create. The repository is created and an empty workspace is displayed.
