  1. Autofetch repository changes. This option allows to automatically show commits in an Nepenthes Repository.

  2. Repository disk size cache. In order to cache the repository disk size (displayed e.g. in repository page).

  3. Enable repository management web service. This option allows communication with SVN- or Git-Clients. If it is deactivated, a repository cannot be created.

  4. Define an API key. This API key is created once and used for communication with an SVN or Git client.

  5. Select which SCM you want to enabled. You can choose Git and/or Subversion.
