Remote Repositories Overview

repository.
Cortex XSOAR supports the ability to
work with separate repositories for development and production environments.
This enables you to develop and test all of your content in one
location, and when it is ready, you push the content to the remote
repository. On your production environment, you pull the content
as you would all other content updates.
The development and production environments must be running on
the same version of Cortex XSOAR.
In addition, Cortex XSOAR content updates are only delivered
to the development environment. This enables you to determine which
updates you want to push to production.
Working with remote repositories is Git-based. Any service
that supports this protocol can be used, for example, GitHub, GitLab,
Bitbucket, etc. In addition, on-premise repositories are also supported.
Verify that your Cortex XSOAR has access to the remote repository
as this feature can not be configured to work with Engines.
In the production environment, the content appears as a content
update, just like any other, and you pull the content from the remote
repository into your working branch.
To work with remote repositories, you must have two separate
Cortex XSOAR environments on two separate machines. The development
environment is used to write the following content:
Playbooks
Integrations
Classifiers
Mappers
Content packs
When pushing a content pack to the remote
repository, you should push all of its content, listed in the Local
Changes window, for the content pack to work properly.
Agent tools
Incident fields
Indicator fields
Evidence fields
Incident layouts
Incident types
Pre-processing rules
If you have more than two pre-processing
rules in your Local Changes queue, you must push all of those changes
to the remote repository.
Indicator types
Reports
Dashboards
Widgets
On the production environment, it is not possible to edit these
elements.
