How to integrate Repository Manager with Github Actions for CI/CD Builds

Hello,

I am using Advanced Installer, version 20.8, Enterprise Edition.

On my local machine, the "AI_REPOSITORY" points to the path: C:\ProgramData\Caphyon\Advanced Installer. However, I also build my installer on the GitHub Actions CI/CD. How can I use the contents from the "Repository Manager" when building the installer package using GitHub Actions? Is it possible to keep the contents of the "Repository Manager" inside my GitHub repository?

Please suggest the best way to integrate the Repository Manager with GitHub Actions.

Best Regards,
Asif

Hello,

A fellow user here. I would simply move the repository to a location that is tracked via Git (inside your Git repository). Just use the "Move Repository" button that is displayed here: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user- ... nager.html
You can find that dialog here: File - Settings - Repository Manager - Settings
And afterwards add and commit those files to your Git so they are easily accessible using your CI/CD pipeline, using e.g. Github Actions.

Best regards,
Johannes
