This document helps you understand the concept of repositories inBigQuery. You can use repositories to perform version control onfiles you use in BigQuery. BigQuery uses Git to recordchanges and manage file versions.

Each BigQuery repository represents a Git repository. You canuse BigQuery's built-in Git capabilities, or you can connect toa third-party Git repository. Within each repository, you can create one or moreworkspaces to edit the code stored in therepository.

To view repositories, on the BigQuery page, in the left pane,clickexploreExplorer,and then clickRepositories. Your repositories are displayed inalphabetical order in a new tab in the details pane.

Third-party repositories

You can connect a BigQuery repository toa third-party Git repository if you choose. In this case, the third-party repository storesthe repository code instead of BigQuery. BigQuery interacts with the third-partyrepository to allow you to edit and execute its contents in aBigQuery workspace. Depending on the type of repository youchoose, you can connect to a third-party repository by using SSH or HTTPS.
