Set Up Your Git Integration

Suggest Edits

You’ll set up your Get integration when creating a new project.

Get an Authentication Token

Many cloud git providers have transitioned from traditional username and password authentication for remote repository access to a more secure method known as token authentication or Personal Access Tokens (PAT). Coalesce requires a PAT.

Git Fields

You’ll need the following information ready to connect your account.

FieldDescriptionExample
Account NicknameFriendly description of this git accountGitHub
Git UsernameYour git username/account namejack-bauer
TokenThe git user's authorization tokenghp_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789
Author NameName of the git userJack Bauer
Author EmailThe git user's email[email protected]

Git Username in Repo URL

By default, some git providers include a git username in the repo URL. Example https://[email protected]/customer_projects/my-edw.git.

While URLs like this are currently allowed, any authentication information in them is ignored since git URLs can be shared across multiple Coalesce users.

Coalesce will instead use the value of Git Account when authenticating.
