how to clone a mongo db connector?

There are two common meanings of “clone a MongoDB connector”; here’s what the knowledge covers. --- ## 1. Clone the MongoDB V2 connector source code To work on your own copy of the MongoDB V2 connector (e.g., to modify or extend it), you clone the main Airbyte repo and then build the connector: 1. Fork the

airbyte

repo on GitHub. 2. Clone your fork and enter the repo:

bash    git clone [email protected]:{YOUR_USERNAME}/airbyte.git    cd airbyte

[[Developing locally 2.0](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/2.0/contributing-to-airbyte/developing-locally#connector-contributions)] 3. Build the connector image (example for a source connector):

bash    airbyte-ci connectors --name source-mongodb-v2 build

This produces a local Docker image tagged

airbyte/source-mongodb-v2:dev

. [[Developing locally 2.0](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/2.0/contributing-to-airbyte/developing-locally#connector-contributions)] 4. Load and use this image in your local Airbyte instance (via

abctl

and UI version override) if you want to test it through the UI. [[Developing locally 2.0](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/2.0/contributing-to-airbyte/developing-locally#connector-contributions)] A forum answer also confirms you can build a modified connector locally (e.g., via Gradle) and then add it as a custom connector in the UI, even if the image is not published anywhere. [[Forum post](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/1812)] --- ## 2. “Clone” as in re‑use / reconfigure a MongoDB source If by “clone” you mean set up another MongoDB V2 source with similar settings: - Create a new MongoDB V2 source in the Airbyte UI and configure it with the appropriate connection string, databases, and credentials. [[MongoDB quick start](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/mongodb-v2#quick-start); [MongoDB config params](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/mongodb-v2#configuration-parameters)] - The docs do not describe a one-click “duplicate source” feature, so any cloning of configuration would be manual (re-entering the same parameters) or done via external tooling (e.g., Terraform), which is not detailed specifically for MongoDB in these sources. If you clarify which of these you meant (code-level clone vs. duplicating a configured source), I can narrow the steps further based only on the docs.
