Chef Habitat origins
An origin is a unique namespace in Chef Habitat Builder where you can store, share, and build packages. Once created, you can’tt rename an origin, but you can delete or transfer it. For example, the core origin contains foundational packages managed and versioned by the core Chef Habitat maintainers.
You can create origins in an Habitat On-Prem Builder deployment. Chef’s public Habitat Builder doesn’t support creating new origins.
You can join existing origins by invitation or create your own origins in an Habitat On-Prem Builder deployment.
