☁️Can I access Github repositories with Huawei cloud?
Introduction
Hello Everyone!
Today I will tell you about how to access a public repository in the github environment or the repositories of our own account. The name of our Huawei Cloud solution is Codearts Repo.
Enjoyable reading 😊
First of all, let’s talk about what git technology is.
What is Git and Repository?
Git is a distributed version control system that tracks versions of files. It is often used to control source code by programmers collaboratively developing software.
A Git repository is the .git/ folder inside a project. This repository tracks all changes made to files in your project, building a history over time. Meaning, if you delete the .git/ folder, then you delete your project’s history.
What is CodeArts Repo?
CodeArts Repo provides software developers with Git-based online code hosting services. It is a cloud code repository that supports security control, member and permission management, branch protection and merging, online editing, and statistics. The service aims to address cross-region collaboration, multi-branch concurrency, code version management, and security issues.

Conclusion
I used Huawei Cloud services in my article. I recommend that you pay attention to billing when using these services. You can turn off the services after using them.
You can provide feedback with comments and actions. Thanks.
