PlaidCloud Git Connector

PlaidCloud Git is the managed Git service built into your workspace. A PlaidCloud Git connection points a Panel deployment — or a workflow — at one of your repositories. Because the service is managed, it needs no server URL, username, or token: PlaidCloud supplies the host and authenticates on your behalf.

For the end-to-end walkthrough of serving a Panel app from one of these connections, see Deploy a Panel App From PlaidCloud Git. To create repositories and push code, see the PlaidCloud Git guides.

Configuration

Section titled “Configuration”

From Tools > Connections, click New Connection and choose PlaidCloud Git. The form drops the authentication, SSL, and SSH sections that external Git providers show — credentials are platform-derived — leaving the connection’s identity, usage, and repository target.

Identification

Section titled “Identification”
Field Type Description
Account Name Text Display name for this connection.
Memo Text Optional note about what the connection is for.

Repository

Section titled “Repository”
Field Type Description
Repository Picker The repository to use. Click Refresh to list your workspace repositories — for example apps or udfs — and choose one.
Default Branch Picker The branch to read from, chosen from the branches in the selected repository.
Start Path Picker Optional. Browse the selected repository and choose a folder to scope every file lookup to a subdirectory.

Usage (Active / Read Only) and the Security Model (who in the workspace may use the connection) are the standard connection settings — see the connection guide and Create and Manage a Connection.
