4.2. Creating the global Repository custom resource

Prerequisites

• You have administrator access to the openshift-pipelines namespace.
• You logged on to the OpenShift cluster using the oc command line utility.

Procedure

• Create a Repository CR named pipeline-as-code in the openshift-pipelines namespace. Specify all the required default settings in this CR.

  Example command to create the CR

  $ cat <<EOF|oc create -n openshift-pipelines -f -
  
  apiVersion: "pipelinesascode.tekton.dev/v1alpha1"
  kind: Repository
  metadata:
    name: pipelines-as-code
  spec:
    git_provider:
      secret:
        name: "gitlab-webhook-config"
        key: "provider.token"
      webhook_secret:
        name: "gitlab-webhook-config"
        key: "webhook.secret"
  EOF

  In this example, all Repository CRs that you create include the common secrets for accessing your GitLab repositories. You can set different repository URLs and other settings in the CRs.
