Getting started
Connect your computer and approve your first repository from RepoHop.
1. Install RepoHop Local
On Devices, download the RepoHop Local package for macOS, Windows or Linux. The package contains the compiled service and approval UI; you do not need the RepoHop source code or a language toolchain.
The normal macOS/Linux install is one checksum-verifying command:
curl -fsSL https://releases.repohop.app/install.sh | shOn Windows, open PowerShell and run:
irm https://releases.repohop.app/install.ps1 | iexYou can also download and extract the package, then run install.sh or powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install.ps1. The installer verifies the release, registers the RepoHop Local launcher and starts its outbound service. It does not request repository access and does not open an inbound port.
RepoHop does not use a paid Apple Developer identity. On macOS, use the documented command installer rather than bypassing Gatekeeper for an unsigned app downloaded through a browser.
2. Pair the computer
Open Devices in the dashboard, enter a computer name and choose Pair computer. Then choose Open RepoHop Local.
RepoHop Local claims the short-lived pairing, stores the device credential in the operating system credential store when available and starts the secure outbound connection. Do not share the one-time pairing code shown under the troubleshooting fallback.
Wait for the device to appear as Online. This dashboard state is the normal connection check.
3. Add a repository
Open Repositories and choose Add repository. Select the computer, name the repository and set its branch, remote and permissions.
RepoHop Local opens a confirmation on that computer. Review the requested access, choose the local Git folder and approve it. Folder selection and validation happen locally. The absolute path and repository contents never enter RepoHop Cloud.
The repository changes from Pending local approval to Applied locally in the dashboard when approval succeeds.
Need help?
If RepoHop Local does not open or the device stays offline, use Troubleshooting. Terminal commands are available there as recovery tools, but they are not required for the normal setup flow.
