Update for Syndeia Cloud 3.6 – This exercise assumes that the user has been assigned Global Graph Query permission by the Syndeia Cloud administrator in order to access the Graph Queries page.

Background – GitHub

As of Syndeia release 3.46, the Syndeia Web Dashboard can extract and display some model information from a GitHub repository. Figure 2 shows a tree view of this information, with labels identifying the GitHub element types. Note the different icons. The label color coding indicates how the GitHub element type is mapped to the Syndeia Cloud element types: Repository (green), Container (red), and Artifact (blue). The Syndeia GitHub integration supports a large number of standard and custom GitHub artifact types, including Branch, Commit, Issue, Tag, and File.

Graph queries are most useful in viewing inter-model connections from GitHub elements to other repositories.
