Creating a project from a password-protected Git repo

You can create projects in CML by replicating the project files from a Git repo. The Git repo can be public, or it can be private, accessed by SSH or HTTPS authentication.

When you create a project, you can choose to create it from a Git repository. In the New Project page, under Initial Setup, choose the Git tab. Paste the Git URL in Git URL of Project.

There are two ways to authenticate a password-protected repo: SSH and HTTPS. The SSH key is automatically generated by CML for each user or team account.

To clone a repo with SSH:

  • Make sure you have a public SSH key added to your Github account. For more information, see Adding an SSH Key to GitHub.
  • In the Git interface, select Code > SSH and copy the URL.
  • Paste the URL into Git URL of Project. It should appear similar to git@github.com:someuser/somerepo.git.

To clone a repo with HTTPS:

  • In the Git interface, select Code > SSH and copy the URL.
  • Paste the URL into Git URL of Project.
  • Insert the repo username and password into the URL, like so: https://<username>:<password>@github.com/someuser/somerepo.git

Continue with creating the project, and the files will be imported from the Git repository.
