How do I connect my Git repository?
GitHub
Click Connect GitHub, then install the Hodifly app on the account or organization that owns your repositories, choosing which repositories to grant access to.
Your repositories then appear automatically when you create a new project.
GitLab (gitlab.com and self-hosted)
Unlike GitHub, there's no app to install. Here are the three steps to connect your GitLab, whether it's on gitlab.com or self-hosted:
- In GitLab, open your project › Settings › Access Tokens.
- Create a token with role Maintainer and scope
api. - In the Hodifly new project form, choose GitLab, paste your project URL (for example
https://gitlab.com/groupe/projet), paste the token, then click Validate.
Hodifly verifies the token and configures your project so it can be used on Hodifly.
My GitLab token is about to expire. What happens?
Hodifly notifies you by email about 30 days before it expires (then again as the deadline approaches, and once the token has expired), and shows a warning on the project with an Update Token link. Click it and paste a new token. If several projects share this token, a single update renews all of them.
Why does the GitLab token need the api scope and the Maintainer role?
Because Hodifly needs to create a webhook to receive GitLab notifications, and to publish commit statuses as well as merge request preview links (api).
