Source Control credential type

Source Control credentials are used with projects to clone and update local source code repositories from a remote revision control system such as Git or Subversion.

Source Control credentials require the following inputs:

  • Username: The username to use in conjunction with the source control system.
  • Password: The password to use in conjunction with the source control system.
  • SCM Private Key: Copy or drag-and-drop the actual SSH Private Key to be used to authenticate the user to the source control system through SSH.
  • Private Key Passphrase: If the SSH Private Key used is protected by a passphrase, you can configure a Key Passphrase for the private key.
Note

You cannot configure Source Control credentials as Prompt on launch.

If you are using a GitHub account for a Source Control credential and you have Two Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled on your account, you must use your Personal Access Token in the password field rather than your account password.
