+
+The `hex-repository` type supports an authentication key.
+
+`repo` is a required field, which must match the name of the repository used in your dependency declaration.
+
+The `public-key-fingerprint` is an optional configuration field, representing the fingerprint of the public key for the Hex repository. `public-key-fingerprint` is used by Hex to establish trust with the private repository. The `public-key-fingerprint` field can be either listed in plaintext or stored as a {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} secret.
