Enabling upload from a repository​

Git client configuration can be managed via UI (Admin Panel > System > Git Configuration).

We highly recommend using a technical account, since the provided data will be stored on a server in an unencrypted form. Enabling download by login and password is unavailable in case of a BitBucket private repository. Please use an authorization token or SSH key instead.

Configuration example:

[user]
email = your@email.com
user = your_username
[credential]
helper = cache --timeout 30000
