Helix Core Server Administrator Guide: Fundamentals (2019.1)

Defining depots

By default, the standard depot Depot is created in the server when the server starts up. Depending on your user’s needs, you can change its name and you can create additional depots to serve your needs:

  • Additional standard depots allow you to organize user’s work in relevant categories.
  • Stream depots are dedicated to the organization and management of streams.
  • Remote depots are used to facilitate the sharing of code.
  • A spec depot is used to track changes to user-edited forms such as workspace specifications, jobs, branch mappings, and so on.
  • Archive depots are used to offline storage of infrequently needed content.
  • Unload depots are used to offline storage of infrequently needed metadata.
