Develop Components With Git

Choreo enables you to develop components by connecting your GitHub repository. You have the flexibility to either connect an existing repository, or start with an empty repository and commit the source code later. By integrating your Git repositories with Choreo, you can automate tasks and optimize workflows across multiple systems, all within the Choreo platform. As of now, Choreo only supports GitHub as its Git provider.

In Choreo, you can connect a Git repository that contains Ballerina source code or a Docker project. To connect your Git repository as a Docker project, your Git repository should contain the Dockerfile and the build's context. The Dockerfile specifies the instructions for building the Docker image, while the build context is a set of files located in the specified path used to build the image.
