The Git backend requires the [`dulwich`](https://www.dulwich.io/) package, and the S3 backend requires the [`boto3`](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/index.html) package. These must be installed within NetBox's environment to enable these backends. !!! info - If you are configuring Git and have HTTP_PROXIES set to use the SOCKS protocol, you will also need to install the [`python_socks`](https://pypi.org/project/python-socks/) package. + If you are configuring Git and have `HTTP_PROXIES` configured to use the SOCKS protocol, you will also need to install the [`python_socks`](https://pypi.org/project/python-socks/) Python library. Each type of remote source has its own configuration parameters. For instance, a git source will ask the user to specify a branch and authentication credentials. Once the source has been created, a synchronization job is run to automatically replicate remote files in the local database.
