Installing exporters

Make existing exporters available to your workspaces and design systems.

In order to use an exporter, it must be installed in your workspace. The exporter will then be available to all developers with access to your workspace. There are two ways to install an exporter package:

  • Install an existing exporter from the exporter Store.
  • Link a repository containing an exporter package (ideal for private exporters).

Install an exporter from the list

  1. Navigate to Code automation > Exporters.
  2. Locate the exporter you would like to install.
  3. Click the Create pipeline button.
  4. The exporter will be installed and you can instantly create a pipeline using it.

Install an exporter from a repository

In Supernova, exporters are backed by repositories. You can also install an exporter from a private repository. Follow these steps to install an exporter you've created or someone else's exporter from a GitHub, GitLab, Azure or Bitbucket repository.

  1. Navigate to Code automation > Exporters > Custom.
  2. Click + New custom exporter.
  3. Enter a valid repository URL from either GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or Azure DevOps.
  4. Click Confirm to install the exporter.
  5. If you're not authorized yet, you'll be prompted to manage your platform authorization in settings. If the platform can't be found, a dropdown will appear in the dialog where you can select the correct one.

Install an exporter from a branch or subdirectory

You can also install an exporter from a specific branch or subdirectory.

  1. Navigate to Code automation > Exporters > Custom.
  2. Click + New custom exporter.
  3. Enter a valid repository URL (including branches or subdirectories) from either GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or Azure DevOps.
  4. Click Confirm to install the exporter.

Update exporter settings

In the exporter settings you can update the repository, branch, or subdirectory settings.

  1. Navigate to Code automation > Exporters, and open the exporter from the list.
  2. You’ll see an overview of the exporter.
  3. Click Settings to view the exporter settings.
  4. You can update the platform and URL here.
  5. Click Update to fetch the new branch and/or subdirectory.
