Connect to a Git provider using basic authentication

Connect to a Git domain or repository using basic authentication credentials to manage applications in Fluent source control from ServiceNow Studio.

Before you begin

• From your Git provider, generate a personal access token to use for basic authentication to the Git domain. You must provide your Git user name and personal access token when configuring your credentials for ServiceNow Studio.
• Create a dedicated Git repository for an application in a Git provider such as GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure Repos.

Role required: admin

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > App Engine > ServiceNow Studio.
2. Use one of the following keyboard shortcuts to open the command palette:
   • Windows: Ctrl-Shift-P
   • Mac: Cmd-Shift-P
3. Enter Git: Set IDE Git credentials and press Enter.
4. From the New Git credential form, select Basic auth.
5. On the form, fill in the fields.

   Table 1. New Git credential form

   Field	Description
   Git repository URL	HTTPS URL of a Git repository associated with your Git credentials.
   Git username	Git username.
   Personal access token	Personal access token that you generate from your Git provider.
   Use this credential for all repositories	Option to use the credentials for all repositories in the Git domain associated with the Git repository URL.

6. Select Submit.

Result

Your Git credentials are associated with your user on the instance and used for all repositories in the domain from the Git repository URL. If you add different credentials for a repository in the same domain, the new credentials are used and the previous credentials are set to inactive.

What to do next

After initializing or cloning a repository, you can begin using Fluent source control. For more information, see Using Fluent source control in ServiceNow Studio.

To manage existing Git credentials, use the Git: Manage Git credentials command from the command palette.
