Repository

Information about the PowerShell Universal repository.

The configuration data for PowerShell Universal is primarily stored within the repository. By default, the repository folder can be found in %ProgramData%\UniversalAutomation\Repository. You can adjust the location of the repository by editing the appsettings.json file.

The repository contains PowerShell scripts and XML files that are produced when using the PowerShell Universal admin console. The repository folder is also watched for changes so any change made on disk will cause the system to reload the file and reconfigure the platform. When using Git integration, the repository folder is what is synchronized with the git remote.

All configuration cmdlets are part of the Universal module.
