Private WDL Github Sync
Is there a way to sync private WDLs from Github with Terra? From Dockstore, the option to launch into Terra is only available for publicly exposed WDLs, which is not an option for users that are using proprietary pipelines. Permissions are available from the Broad Method Repository, but there is no option to sync with Github and we are limited to copy-pasting edits per WDL. This feature would go a long way in making Terra easier to develop with and use in proprietary/private settings.

This feature would also be very useful for testing workflows before they're ready to be shared with others. I'd prefer if my public Dockstore workflows were not cluttered with things like "test data tables" that 1) are not useful to others and 2) don't even work.
I also hope this feature.
2 reasons:
1. In the current academia's incentivized system, a novel scientific paper is more rewarded. That means even when making the WDL files public with an open source license, eventually, we want to make the GitHub repository with the WDL files private until we publish the paper. Though personally, I don't like such incentivized system.
The use case is
2. I just checked Broad Method Repository that enables us to synchronize private WDL files. However, it seems that it is to upload a 1 WDL file. In our case, we use multiple WDL files using the sub-workflow feature . So, it's not convenient in our case.

I'd also very much appreciate this feature! (I upvoted as well.)
Would love to have this feature to maintain version control through our private GitHub repo!
Hi, is there any update regarding using private GitHub wdls using terra on GCP? I can bet that this feature would be desirable across all users to host proprietary code on Terra platform.
Hi Jivesh,
This feature request is still active and being considered by our development team so there aren't further updates at this time. I have added your upvote and comment to the feature request ticket to help with prioritization.
Kind regards,
Pamela
