# Repositories settings

1. **Autofetch repository changes**. This option allows to automatically show commits in an OpenProject Repository.
2. **Repository disk size cache**. In order to cache the repository disk size (displayed e.g. in repository page).
3. **Enable repository management web service**. This option allows communication with SVN- or Git-Clients. If it is deactivated, a repository cannot be created.
4. **Define an API key**. This API key is created once and used for communication with an SVN or Git client.
5. Select which **SCM** you want to enabled. You can choose **Git** and/or **Subversion**.

10. **Enable caching for authentication request of version control software**. This option allows saving the authentication so that a user doesn’t have to authenticate every time a repository is accessed (for example during commits).
