# Step 2: Connect Repository

## Repositories Supported

Appsurify supports all **Git-based, Microsoft TFVC, SVN,** and **Perforce** Repositories. 

**Repository Architectures** Supported:

* Monolithic
* Multi-Repo
* Microservices

## Connect Repository via CLI Script

The below example shows the `--gittoappsurify` command to push Commit Metadata to Appsurify. This command will push the project details and bind the Developer Repository so that Appsurify can see the changes and base it's Predictive Test Selection criteria based on areas of change from recent Commits. 

### \*Need to have Python 3.7 installed or higher\*

### Step 1: Install AppsurifyCI 

Place script in CLI (as seen in image below, and **above** --gittoappsurify)

```
--pip install --upgrade pip
```

Then Enter:

```
--pip install appsurifyci --upgrade
```

### Step 2: Enter your Script

**Example**:

```
--pip install appsurifyci --upgrade
```

**Then**

```
--gittoappsurify --start "latest" --url "https://testbraindemo.appsurify.com" --project "application" --token "NTk65cD1Ua3doV3luNDRuMjNCMDRjV2EVkx0dwzz" --branch "branch" --repo_name "repo"
```
