Supported Git Hosting Services

The generic Git integration works with:

Authentication Methods

HTTPS with Password/Token

Most common method. Use your username and password or personal access token.

URL: https://git.example.com/user/repo.git
Username: your-username
Password: your-password-or-token

Token-based Authentication

For services that use token-only authentication:

Username: oauth2 (or your username)
Password: your-access-token

Troubleshooting

"Authentication failed"

• Verify username and password/token are correct
• Some services require tokens instead of passwords
• Check if the account has access to the repository

"Repository not found"

• Verify the URL is correct and accessible
• Ensure the .git suffix is included if required
• Check if the repository exists and is not deleted

"Connection refused"

• Verify the Git server is accessible
• Check firewall settings
• Ensure the URL protocol (HTTP/HTTPS) is correct
