What is Metadata?

Metadata is a data storage capability provided by repositories. Currently, it supports storing metadata for Tags and Commits, representing annotations for Tags or Commits.

Storage Format

Stored in key: value format.

Taking Tag v1.0.0's metadata as an example, its metadata supports storage in key: value format, as shown below:

key1: value1
key2: value2
# ...

How to View Metadata?

Page navigation path:

• Tag metadata: Repository > Tag or Release list > Tag or Release details > Metadata (not shown if no metadata exists)
• Commit metadata: Repository > Commit list > Commit details > Metadata

Currently, the web interface only supports viewing metadata, not adding, modifying, or deleting.

How to Operate on Metadata?

You can add, delete, and query metadata through plugins in Cloud Native Build pipelines.
