Repositories are locations — like "folders" — containing your synchronized design data. A repository can contain all design tokens and assets Specify is compatible with.

They're called "repositories" because, like in git-based versioning tools (e.g., GitHub), they act as a central storage location people will push data into or pull data from.

A repository collects design data from Sources and distributes design data to Destinations.

Specify is compatible with 52 design token types. Check them in our documentation ↗︎

You can create a repository by clicking the "Create repository" button on the top-right of the Repositories page.
