Hi all, I'm trying to put my project on github but somewhere something is going wrong.
I created an empty repository on my github account, enabled projects in Node-Red, and added my github repo url to the Node-red project settings. Local project history works ok, nothing happens online.
In the 'commit history' menu I found a dialog behind the button with up/down arrows ('manage remote branch', quite well-hidden ), where it says there is no remote branch.
Isn't that what I just set up via the 'settings' dialog?
Anyway, when I try to set up a remote branch there Node-red is asking for credentials, and I'm at a loss which credentials are needed. My Node-Red project password, my github password, my custom key? I tried them all, none work.
I have integration with github working, but have a related problem.
I'm certainly not the right person to answer the OP's question, but can perhaps add my issue.
When I get github integration working (which seems random), the next time I try to push changes to github from the interface, the connection is broken again.
Is there a guide on how to set up github integration? I've messed around and gotten it to work, but it's erratic!
You have to create a Personal Access Token in your GIT account. You then enter this token in the authorisation box in node red in the User Name field. Leave the Password field empty.
Suddenly it works, thanks!
Problem is, I'm not sure how I did it.
In my opinion, all things Git are thoroughly confusing.
(and it seems I'm not the only one)
I put the personal access token in, no password, when that option appears.
I have the general git config set up with username and email.
The remote is configured in Project Settings.
Is it a thing where you get one chance? When it doesn't work, i delete and then re-add the remote. Then I get another chance to log in with the personal access token. But then it still doesn't work.
The repo we've got our Node-Red code in is in a Git Organization.
In a git organization, there is a setting that allows - or does not allow - personal access tokens to access repositories in that organization. So even if your personal access token is set to access repositories, the settings in the organziation can overrule that.
