GitHub Integration

The GitHub Integration is used to connect the JFrog Pipelines platform to GitHub.

Creating a GitHub Integration

You can add this integration by following steps on the Managing Pipelines Integrations page.

Here is the information you need to create this integration:

Name -- Choose a friendly name for the integration
url -- Your GitHub API endpoint. This is already hard-coded to https://api.github.com
Token -- Your GitHub personal access token with the permissions needed to run your jobs
Token permissions
To use this integration as a pipeline source, your token must be granted these permissions at minimum:
- repo (all)
- admin:repo_hook (read, write)
- admin:public_key (read, write)
Additionally, if your organization uses SAML single sign-on, you will need to authorize your token.
HTTP Header -- Optional. Use the key and value fields to provide the name and value for the custom HTTP header you would like to pass in the HTTP requests for Git clone events.

Usage

The GitHub integration can be used in the GitRepoGitRepo resource.GitRepo

The GitHub integration can also be added directly to a step in the integrations section.

Default Environment Variables

When you create a resource with this integration, and create a step that uses it, a set of environment variables is automatically made available.

Environment variable	Description
`res_<resource-name>_gitProvider_url`	GitHub API location
`res_<resource-name>_gitProvider_token`	The Token used to connect to GitHub

When you add this integration directly to a step, a set of environment variables is automatically made available.

Environment variable	Description
`int_<integration-name>_url`	GitHub API location
`int_<integration-name>_token`	The Token used to connect to GitHub

Examples

This example shows how to configure an NpmBuild step using default locations and default commands. It assumes that a GitHub integration named myGithub has been created.

This example uses a values.yml file to store the pipeline definitions.
The YAML for this example is available in this repository in the JFrog GitHub account.
For more information about running this example, see Pipeline Example: Npm Build.

NpmBuild

# This config file is templatized so that it can be easily customized. Values can be provided with a values.yml file.
