Using git with Cloud Manager

You can use Cloud Manager’s git repository out of the box, but you also have the option of integrating a customer-managed git repository with Cloud Manager.

Git Integration Overview

This video series explores several use cases when integrating a customer-managed git repository with Cloud Manager, including:

Initial Sync
Basic Branching Strategy
Feature Branch Development
Production Deployment
Synchronizing Release Tags

The video series assumes a basic knowledge of git and source control management. See the additional resources below for more details on git.

The steps and naming conventions outlined in this video series represent some best practices for working with a customer-managed git repository in Cloud Manager. It is expected that the conventions and workflows depicted are adapted for individual use cases.

Initial Sync

In this video, learn the first steps for synchronizing a customer-managed Git repository with Cloud Manager’s Git repository.

Basic Branching Strategy

In this video, learn basic branching strategies.

Feature Branch Development

Use a feature branch to isolate code changes in a customer-managed git repository and synchronize with Cloud Manager’s git repository in order to use a non-production pipeline for code quality and validation testing.

Production Deployment

Prepare code for a production release in a customer-managed git repository and synchronize with Cloud Manager’s git repository in order to deploy to stage and production environments.

Synchronizing Release Tags

Synchronize release tags from a Cloud Manager git repository into a customer-managed git repository in order to provide visibility for what code has been deployed to staging and production environments.
