# PIP - Private packages

When letting Aikido update your dependencies in repositories with private packages, Aikido would need to also have access to the private packages so we can properly update your requirements files. You can  provide private git repository configuration in Aikido for this.

## Configuration in Aikido - Private Git repository <a href="#configuration-in-aikido---private-rubygems-repository" id="configuration-in-aikido---private-rubygems-repository"></a>

### Private PyPI registry <a href="#same-scm-organization" id="same-scm-organization"></a>

In the Pip tab in the private registry settings, provide the index URL to the PyPI registry including the username and password in the following format:

```
https://<username>:<password>@domain.com/repo
```

If the private registry is hosted on **GitHub**, **GitLab**, **BitBucket** or **Azure DevOps**, consult the sections below.

### Same SCM organization <a href="#same-scm-organization" id="same-scm-organization"></a>

If the private git repository for the pip is in the same organization as the code being autofixed, make sure your [AutoFix access token](https://app.aikido.dev/issues/fix/settings) has access to the private git repository.

### Different SCM organization <a href="#different-scm-organization" id="different-scm-organization"></a>

You can configure Aikido to authenticate with your private repositories when updating the dependencies by following the steps below:

1. Go to your account's settings page for the autofixer in Aikido, [here](https://app.aikido.dev/settings/integrations/autofix).
2. Click on "Manage private registry connection", the configuration modal will now be shown

1. When you select 'Custom' you will now be able to enter the environment variables we need to complete the automated fixes in your repositories.

   In the example above, we show a possible setup for a private GitHub repository. The environment variable key is `PIP_GITHUB__COM`, and the value is a GitHub access token with repository access.

   | Provider     | Environment Variable Key | Value Format        |
   | ------------ | ------------------------ | ------------------- |
   | GitHub       | `PIP_GITHUB__COM`        | `your-access-token` |
   | GitLab       | `PIP_GITLAB__COM`        | `your-access-token` |
   | Bitbucket    | `PIP_BITBUCKET__ORG`     | `your-access-token` |
   | Azure DevOps | `PIP_DEV__AZURE__COM`    | `your-access-token` |
2. Click "Apply Changes" to save the configuration.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.aikido.dev/~/revisions/KY3QqEqZPV6ifxqjwoLa/aikido-autofix/connect-private-packages/pip-private-packages.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
