Adding version control integration

Adding version control services like Github and Bitbucket to TrueFoundry installation allows a user to directly access public/private repositories of the linked account for deployment.
To allow these integrations in your app, following steps need to be followed.

Github

To enable Github integration in your app, you need to create a github app using your github account. This github app can then be installed on the users's account through our platform.

Follow these steps to create the github app and integrate it with truefoundry:

  • In Github, select your avatar (Your profile and settings) from the navigation bar at the top of the screen. If you want to create app for personal account, select Settings. If you want to create it for an organization, select Your organizations > Settings.
  • On the sidebar, select Developer Settings.
  • On the sidebar, select Github apps.
  • Click the New Github App button and add the following settings:

  • Base 64 encode the entire content of the file. Please make sure to omit any whitelines before or after the text in the file. To base64 encode, use following commands on the command line:
    - Linux : base64 private_key.pem > private_key.b64
    - Windows : certutil -encode private_key.pem tmp.b64 && findstr /v /c:- tmp.b64 > private_key.b64 && del tmp.b64
    - Mac : base64 -i private_key.pem -o private_key.b64
    Please make sure to omit any whitelines before or after the text in the file. Store the file content of private_key.b64 as private_key.
  • Set environment variables using the docs :
