     • All Repositories - Infisical will scan all repositories associated with your connection.
     • Select Repositories - Infisical will scan the selected repositories.
   • Auto-Scan Enabled - whether Infisical should automatically perform a scan when a push is made to configured repositories.

   • Name - the name of the data source. Must be slug-friendly.
   • Description (optional) - a description of this data source.

5. Review your data source, then click Create Data Source.
