Self-Managed GitHub

Torque supports connecting to self-managed GitHub repositories, allowing you to discover and manage assets stored in your on-premises GitHub instance.

Prerequisites​

  • GitHub personal access token with read access for repositories in the server

Configuration​

  1. Create Provider via Torque REST API.

    POST http://portal.qtorque.io/api/settings/repository_providers
    {
      "name":"github-enterprise", 
      "type":"githubEnterprise",
      "details": {
          "token":"<Personal access token>",
          "base_url": "https://my-github-enterprise.my-org.net/"
      },
      "repos": []
    }

    Or with a curl command:

    curl --request POST \   --url https://portal.qtorque.io/api/settings/repository_providers \  
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer <Torque API toke>' \  
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \  
    --data '{  
      "name":"github-enterprise",  
      "type":"githubEnterprise",
      "details": {    
        "token":"<Personal access token>",    
        "base_url": "https://github-enterprise.qualilabs.net/"  
      }, 
      "repos": [] }'

    • name: Display name of the provider
    • type: Value representing the type of repository provider (githubEnterprise in this case)
    • token: The personal access token (see Prerequisites)
    • base_url: __Schema://Host:Port/ of the GitHub server (include port if required)

  2. Connect the repository as an asset repository to the space and discover the suitable assets. Make sure to check the "self-managed" checkbox. The repository's URL must be in the base URL of the configured provider.
