How to manage repositories with Orbit CLI

Managing repositories with Orbit CLI is essential for developing and maintaining security in controlling access to privileged information. This article will cover the main features of using orbit-cli to manage repositories securely and efficiently.

Requirements

• Have an administrator profile on senhasegura.
• SSH access to the senhasegura instance.

Configure the repositories

You can configure four types of repositories via the command line with orbit-cli:

1. Stable: stable repository, to configure it, type orbit repository configure stable.
2. Candidate: repository with packages that are in the process of being uploaded to the stable repository, to configure it, type orbit repository configure candidate.

Once you have determined which repository will be updated, you must define the location of this repository's bucket. The options will be shown similarly to the example below:

Choose a bucket location:
  ▸ São Paulo
    Doha
    Iowa
    Sydney
    Warsaw

You must select the location of the bucket using the arrow keys on your keyboard. When you have selected the correct location, press ENTER. You'll need to confirm the configuration and location for Orbit to perform the update:

Are you sure you want to proceed [y/N]:

Type y to continue or n to stop the process. The default option is N (stop).

If successful, the terminal will display the entire process, similar to the example below:
