Show Repository

Example Call

After performing a List Repositories, you can get the repository ID and view the information of an individual repository. This can be beneficial when checking if a fetch has successfully completed after a repository has been created.

#!/bin/sh -e
curl -i -H X_API_VERSION:1.5 -b mycookie -X GET https://my.rightscale.com/api/repositories.xml
