Migrating from Knowledge Repo
A lot of our customers are users of Airbnb's KR when they come to us. In fact, this was such a common occurrence that we built an integration for it!
We've made it super simple to transition from your current data science workflow using Airbnb's knowledge repo to Kyso through our Github integration. You can even continue using the knowledge repo if you like and use Kyso to present and collaborate on your posts among your team. You can also create many Kyso posts from one Github repo as outlined in the Github integration documentation page.
Click on the New button in the navigation bar at the top and select Github Import.
Connect your Github account. On the next Page you will see a list of all your Github repositories. Your team's knowledge repo will also show up here just like any other repository on Github. Select it to connect. You can then view it on Kyso. You will see that we create a main post of the knowledge repo itself.
Important: We identify the knowledge repo by the existence of a
.knowledge_repo_config.yml
file in the knowledge repo itself, so it is important that you do not delete this file. We then read in the knowledge.md file as the main file to render on the main post. You can browse through the files and select different files to render.Each .kp directory within the knowledge repo is published to Kyso as a separate post. Again, the knowledge.md file created from the source file will rendered as the main file on Kyso, and all other files within the specific .kp folder are attached. Unlike when connecting a regular Github repo, there is no need to specify a main file to render in a kyso.json file.
Important: Note also that if you delete the main knowledge repository then all the child reports synced to Kyso (i.e. the .kp folders) will be deleted too.
If you get a 'verification error' go to your repository on Github and navigate to the Settings > Webhooks page and if you see a webhook that points to 'api.kyso.io' simply delete it and then re import your repository to Kyso.
