Using Git with workflows

Edit online

In your Compliance center workflows instance, you can connect to a remote Git repository, then push your workflows to the repository or pull them from the repository into your instance.

Before you begin

You must have a GitHub account and an established repository. Decide which workflows you want to push into your repository and which to pull from it.

Connecting to a Git repository and branch

  1. If you do not have a configured authentication to the repository, create one.
    1. If you are connected to another application, click the application switcher and switch to Compliance center workflows.
    2. In the Compliance center workflows sidebar, click Authentications.
    3. Give the authentication a unique name and, optionally, a description.
    4. In the Service drop-down, select Git.
    5. Provide the Git service credentials.
      URL
      The repository path.
      • You can enter the path now or click Overridable if you prefer to enter it when you set up the Git configuration.
      • If you enter a value now and you do not click Overridable, then the value cannot be changed after you save the authentication.
      • To enter it now, specify the full path ending in your-project.git.
      Branch
      The repository branch that you want to use.
      • You can manually enter the branch name now or click Overridable if you prefer to select it when you set up the Git configuration.
      • If you enter a branch name now and you do not click Overridable, then the branch cannot be changed after you save the authentication.
      • If you enter a branch name now, make sure you enter the name of a branch that exists in the repository.
      Username
      The username associated with your Git provider.
      Password
      The password associated with your Git username. If you are using GitHub Cloud or Enterprise, the password must be a personal access token for the user.
      Email
      The email address associated with your Git username.
      RSA private key
      The private key that is used for SSH key authentication, if you are using SSH instead of password or token authentication.
    6. Click Save.
  2. In the Compliance center workflows sidebar, click Workflows.
  3. Click the overflow (three-dot) menu and click Git Config.
  4. In the dialog, in the Auth Key field, select the authentication that you created in step 1.
  5. Optional: If you made the URL overridable when you created the authentication key, specify the URL.

    In the URL field, enter the full path ending in your-project.git.

  6. Optional: If you made the branch overridable when you created the authentication key, select the repository branch that you want to use for pushing and pulling your workflows.
  7. Click Save.
