Git Repository Connection

info

Only users with Admin privileges can configure Git providers and manage repositories. If you need to connect repositories, contact your organization administrator.

Supported Git Providers​

Packmind supports multiple Git providers to connect your repositories.

GitHub Setup​

  1. Go to GitHub Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens
  2. Click Generate new token (classic)
  3. Permissions must include Contents: read/write
  4. Copy your token (starts with ghp_ or github_pat_)

GitLab Setup​

  1. Go to GitLab User Settings → Access Tokens
  2. Create a new token with these scopes:
    • api - Full API access
  3. Copy your token (starts with glpat-)

Adding Repositories​

Once you've added your providers, add repositories for each provider.

When you add a Git repository, Packmind automatically creates a default target with the root path "/" for that repository. This allows you to immediately start deploying standards and recipes to the entire repository. You can later create additional targets for specific paths within the repository if needed.

Deployment Targets​

Before distributing your standards and recipes, you can configure targets in Settings → Distribution → Targets. A target defines a specific path within your Git repository where standards and recipes will be deployed.

Targets are particularly useful in monorepo environments where you want to apply different standards to different parts of your codebase. For example:

  • /frontend/ - Apply frontend-specific standards to your React components
  • /apps/api/ - Deploy backend standards to your API code
  • /packages/shared/ - Apply shared library standards to common utilities
  • / (Created by default when you add a Git Repo)

Each target creates instruction files in its specified path, allowing AI agents to follow the appropriate standards based on the code they're working with.
