Configuring Git

Pushing to your repositories with FoundriesFactory is as simple as configuring Git on your computer to use the api token you generated during account creation. Afterwards, Git will know when you 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 + New Token. Complete by adding a Description and an 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

In the following command, replace YOUR_TOKEN 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)"

Verify that this has been successful by cloning a repository from your Factory, such as 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, Here, source.foundries.io should be referenced along with your access token, represented as a base64 string.
