Configuring Git

Pushing to the Git repositories in your FoundriesFactory is as simple as configuring Git on your personal machine to use the api token you generated as part of your account creation. Once configured, git will know when are connecting to source.foundries.io and will use this token to authenticate you with our Git server.

Source Code Access Token

In the right top corner, click on the avatar and select Settings in the drop-down list.

Select the tab Tokens and create a new Api Token by clicking on the + New Token. Complete with a Description and the Expiration date and select next.

Check the Use for source code access box and select your Factory. You can later revoke this access and set up a new token once you are familiar with the API Access.

Git Setup

Replace YOUR_TOKEN in the following command with your access token. An example token looks like this: ebAYLaManEgNdRnWKfnwNDJjU45c5LJPmWsYw78z

git config --global http.https://source.foundries.io.extraheader "Authorization: basic $(echo -n YOUR_TOKEN | openssl base64)"

You can verify that this has been successful by attempting to clone a repository from your FoundriesFactory. As an example, you can clone your containers.git repo.

Replace <factory> with your FoundriesFactory name.

git clone https://source.foundries.io/factories/<factory>/containers.git

Tip

You can also use git config --list to show you the current state of the global Git configuration, in which source.foundries.io should be referenced along with your access token, represented as a base64 string.
