What is the Purpose of SloopEngine Repository?

The purpose of a SloopEngine Repository is to provide a way to link a Git repository to a SloopEngine Workspace, and manage and develop the codebase.

Understanding SloopEngine Repository

A SloopEngine Repository is an essential component of the SloopEngine IDE. As of now, SloopEngine only supports Git repositories, meaning that you can only link Git repository that contains your software source code to SloopEngine Repository. This allows you to manage and develop your code within the SloopEngine Workspace, and use the SloopEngine IDE.

To link a Git repository to your SloopEngine Workspace, you need to provide the SSH based Git URL of the repository. Once the repository is linked, you will be able to access and manage it within the Workspace, allowing you to edit, develop and deploy your code using SloopEngine IDE.
