Git Integration (EBS)

At the completion of this section, you will:

  • Understand FlexDeploy integration with Source Control Management Systems (SCM)
  • Be able to create/modify SCM Instances

FlexDeploy has native integration will all major Source Control Management Systems.  The integration starts with creating named connections to the repository through the FlexDeploy repository.

Viewing the current list of SCM Instances is achieved by selecting Topology from the menu, then the Integrations tab from the left-hand pane.  There are five types of integrations in FlexDeploy, but we will focus on Source Control in this tutorial.

Select the + in the upper right corner to create and configure a new GIT Instance.  Configure the following:

FieldDescription
