# Getting started

Available in Classic and VPC

Getting started checks the environmental requirements for SourceCommit, guides you through the [quickstart](/docs/en/sourcecommit-procedure) and [glossary](/docs/en/sourcecommit-glossary), and describes what you have to do to use SourceCommit properly. Getting started describes the following:

- User permissions required to use SourceCommit
- How to create a new repository
- How to copy an external repository currently in use

## User permissions

Check the SourceCommit permissions for your login account and set the sub account permissions in **Menu** > **All Services** > **Management & Governance** > **Sub Account** from the console as needed.

- Your account: Full access to all SourceCommit features
- Sub accounts created by you: Requires one of the following permissions to use SourceCommit:
  - **NCP_INFRA_MANAGER**: Access to all services, except for the **My Account** > **Manage billing information and expense** > **Manage billing and payment** menu on the console
  - **NCP_SOURCECOMMIT_MANAGER**: Full access to all SourceCommit features

Note

To set detailed permissions for each action in the sub account, see the following documentation:

- [Sub Account user guide](/docs/en/subaccount-overview)
- [SourceCommit permissions management](/docs/en/devtools-devtools-2-3)

## Create repository

To create a new repository using NAVER Cloud Platform's SourceCommit:

1. Access the NAVER Cloud Platform console.
2. In the top-right corner, click **Region & Platform**.
3. Select your region and platform, then click **[Apply]**.
4. In the top-left corner, click **Menu**.
5. Navigate to **All Services** > **Developer Tools** > **SourceCommit**.
6. Click **[Create repository]**.
7. When the repository creation interface appears, follow the steps in order:
  - [1. Basic settings](/docs/en/sourcecommit-start#1%EA%B8%B0%EB%B3%B8%EC%84%A4%EC%A0%951)
  - [2. Security product integration](/docs/en/sourcecommit-start#2%EB%B3%B4%EC%95%88%EC%83%81%ED%92%88%EC%97%B0%EB%8F%991)
  - [3. Product integration](/docs/en/sourcecommit-start#2%EC%8A%A4%ED%86%A0%EB%A6%AC%EC%A7%80%EC%83%81%ED%92%88%EC%97%B0%EB%8F%991)
  - [4. Final confirmation](/docs/en/sourcecommit-start#3%EC%B5%9C%EC%A2%85%ED%99%95%EC%9D%B81)

### 1. Basic settings

1. Enter the name and description of the repository.
2. Select the initialization setting options, and click **[Next]**.
  - To automatically create the `README` file, select **Add a README**.
  - Select whether to create the `.gitignore` template file (default: **Add a .gitignore: None**, not created).

Note

If you select the `gitignore` platform type from the list, the `.gitignore` template file corresponding to the selected platform is automatically created when you create the repository.

### 2. Security product integration

Select whether to integrate the File Safer service.

- If you do not want to use the File Safer service integration, click **[Next]**.
- To integrate the File Safer service with the repository after subscribing to it, click **Subscribe to FILE SAFER**.
- If you are using the File Safer service, select **Integrate with FILE SAFER (FILE FILTER)**, and click **[Next]**.

Note

Using File Safer allows you to scan for malicious code infections on a per-commit basis and check the possibility of false positives from antivirus software before deploying source files in the repository, enabling you to perform development tasks more safely and conveniently.

### 3. Storage product integration

Select whether to enable GIT LFS - Object Storage bucket.

- If you do not want to enable the Object Storage bucket, click **[Next]**.
- For more information about how to set Object Storage integration, see "Object Storage bucket integration settings."
- If Object Storage is integrated, select **Enable Object Storage (bucket) integration** and click **[Next]**.

Note

To integrate a bucket, the SourceCommit service must be integrated with Object Storage.

### 4. Final confirmation

After confirming the configured repository information, click **[Create]**.

Note

In the repository list, **Creating** is displayed in the **Status** column for the newly created repository. Once creation is complete, **Operating** is displayed.

To create a repository by copying an external Git repository currently in use:

1. In the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to **Menu** > **All Services** > **Developer Tools** > **SourceCommit**.
2. Click **[Copy external repository]**.
3. When the repository creation interface appears, follow the steps in order:
