Repositories
Only for development of source code files (program code, TeX code, .txt files, etc.).
Binary files are to be avoided wherever possible. In particular no collections of images, videos, PDF files, Word documents, archive files, etc.
Owners of overly large repositories are automatically requested to be mindful of reasonable disk usage.
Repositories are deleted once all of their owners have been deleted.
Repositories should only be published by chairs, university groups, university facilities (see FAQ).
Groups
Group names must not look like IDM identifiers (e.g. ab12cdef, siabcdef, snasdfoo, unrz123).
Group names must not be in conflict with names of lectures, university facilities, etc.
Groups will be deleted once all of their owners have been deleted.
Continuous Integration
Be mindful of reasonable disk usage for build artifacts.
Build artifacts must not be stored permanently.
Misc
The common usage guidelines of the university and the CIP pools of the computer science department apply as well.
