Repository

The Repository feature allows you to browse files and revision history stored in a version control system directly from Redmine.

A version control system manages files together with their change history—recording who changed what, when, and how.
Files and revision information are stored in a repository.
Redmine can integrate with version control systems such as Git, Subversion, and Mercurial.

Click Repository in the project menu to open the repository screen.

  • The upper half of the screen displays a list of folders and files in the repository.
  • The lower half shows the most recently recorded revisions (latest revisions).
Repository Website

Redmine allows you to link issues with revisions from the version control system.

When issues and revisions are linked:

  • The issue displays links to the related revision pages, allowing you to see what changes were made for that issue.
  • The revision page displays links to the related issues, making it clear which issue each change was based on.

This bidirectional linking helps you track changes and understand how code modifications relate to specific issues.

Integration with a version control system is available only when the Repository module is enabled.
You can enable it under:
Project settings → Modules
