Set up Management Consoles

After creating a repository, you need to set up two Management Consoles: one for development and the other for production. They are used to synchronize with the development and production (master) branches in your file-based repository.

Set up development Management Console

Start the development Management Console.
On the menu, select Admin > Projects, click the content menu for the project to synchronize with the repository, and then click Edit.
In the new dialog box, select the Repository tab.
1. In the URL property, type the path to the repository that you created in the previous topic: /gitrepos/example.git/
2. In the Branch property, type the branch to use: development.
3. To enable the configuration specified above, select Enable configuration.
4. Under Objects to synchronize, select the objects to include in the synchronization: Robots, types, and snippets.
5. Save the changes.

Set up production Management Console

Start the production Management Console.
On the menu, select Admin > Projects, click the content menu for the project to synchronize with the repository, and then click Edit.
In the new dialog box, select the Repository tab.
1. In the URL property, type the path to the repository that you created in in the previous topic: /gitrepos/example.git/
2. In the Branch property, type the branch to use: master. We recommend that you always use the master branch for production.
3. To make the repository the only source for object changes, select Read-only.
  
  We recommend that you select this option to avoid any changes to objects belonging to the synchronized project in the production Management Console.
4. To enable the configuration specified above, select Enable configuration.
5. Under Objects to synchronize, select the objects to include in the synchronization: Robots, types, and snippets.
6. Save the changes.

You have now set up your Management Consoles and are ready to start the synchronization.
