How does IguanaX use Git?

IguanaX uses Git and a Git hosting service to support building and managing integrations. By leveraging a Git hosting service you can:

  • Backup and store integrations in external repositories

  • Collaborate efficiently on integration projects

  • Safely deploy integrations from development, test, to production

  • Quickly standardize implementations as you create common libraries and collections

We make it easy to connect Iguana to your Git hosting service

Currently, IguanaX supports connecting with:

  • Bitbucket

  • GitLab

  • Github

  • Azure DevOps

You can configure your Git host in Iguana's Settings > Git.

If you aren't using a git hosting service, it's quick and easy - see Creating a Free Bitbucket Account!

We use Bitbucket as a git hosting platform to distribute all the components and libraries that come with Iguana

IguanaX components and libraries are hosted in Git Collections in Bitbucket. To use IguanaX, your instance requires read access to http://Bitbucket.org . Sometimes the product needs new versions of the components and vice-versa - it is important to keep things in sync.

Talk to your firewall administrator and ask them to open up bitbucket.org, use our page for the correct network access needed for IguanaX: Network Access - where Iguana needs to connect.

If you haven't got access to it then you are likely to see this when you try and create a component:

In order to support this functionality, Git must be installed on the server hosting Iguana. If you need to, refer to Installing Git.
