What is ConnectorsGit

ConnectorsGit is a specialized connector component that enables secure and convenient integration with Git repositories. It extends the Connectors system with Git-specific capabilities, allowing users to interact with Git servers without directly handling credentials.

Feature Overview

ConnectorsGit provides several key capabilities:

• Secure access to Git repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.) through credential abstraction
• Automatic credential injection for Git operations via CSI volumes
• Support for both HTTP/HTTPS authentication methods
• URL rewriting and proxy authentication for seamless integration

Once ConnectorsGit is deployed, users can:

• Create Git connectors to integrate with various Git repositories
• Clone, pull, and push to private repositories without directly handling credentials
• Configure repository-specific access permissions
• Use Git operations in CI/CD pipelines with enhanced security

Advantages

• Enhanced Security: Git credentials are centrally managed and never directly accessible to workloads
• Simplified Operations: Developers can perform Git operations without worrying about credential management
• Unified Experience: Consistent interface for working with different Git providers
• Flexible Authentication: Support for various authentication methods, including username/password and SSH keys

Application Scenarios

• Securely cloning private repositories in CI/CD pipelines
• Displaying git references information from Git repositories in UI applications
• Seamless Git operations in container workloads without credential configuration
• Centralized management of Git access across multiple teams and projects
