In the Ultra Transcenders books

AI-200

Each book explains Repository in context, with comparison tables and the common traps.

Terms in this definition

• Container

  Something that groups data. Blob Storage containers sit inside a storage account and hold blobs much as folders hold files; Cosmos DB containers hold items and set the scope for partitioning and throughput.

• Share

  In OpenSharing, the container you fill with tables, views, volumes, models and notebooks for recipients. You need CREATE SHARE on the metastore to make one; add a schema and all its assets, including later ones, go with history.

• Tag

  Key-value label on compute (for cost tracking) or on a Unity Catalog securable or column, applied with SET TAG or SET TAGS and requiring APPLY TAG. Governed tags restrict allowed keys, values and assigners across the account.

Related terms

• acr purge

  A container command, currently in preview, that runs as an ACR task either on demand or on a schedule. It removes tags matching a repository and tag regex once they pass a given age, can also clear untagged manifests, and anything it deletes is gone for good.

• Active committer

  How GHAS for Azure DevOps is charged. Each person counts once if they've pushed to any repository with it switched on within 90 days, even when several organisations share one Azure subscription.

• Auto-merge

  Once enabled for a repository, this GitHub option merges a pull request by itself as soon as its required reviews and status checks succeed. Azure Repos calls the same idea auto-complete.

• Azure Boards app for GitHub

  Lets work items in Boards link to commits, branches, pull requests and issues once installed from GitHub. Any one repository connects to a single Azure DevOps organisation and project only.

• Base permissions

  The default repository role a GitHub organisation gives every member, though not outside collaborators. A higher role granted on a specific repository takes precedence.

• BFG Repo-Cleaner

  An open-source utility that strips files or rewrites text across a Git repository's whole history, and is easier to use than git filter-branch. GitHub's own guidance uses git filter-repo.

• Content library

  Repository in vCenter holding items such as templates, ISOs and OVF/OVA packages; one vCenter publishes it and others subscribe. VCF Automation shares images this way as well.

• CRAN

  The R package repository, one of the places compute-scoped libraries can come from. Packages from CRAN can't be used on compute in standard access mode.
