You’ve got a site setup in ULTRA Cloud but now you want to automate things a bit by using Git Repositories<\/strong> to manage the content on your sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide will show you how to connect your sites in ULTRA Cloud with a Git Repository<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Obtaining Git Repository address:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Navigate to your Git Repository<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Login to https:\/\/github.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Find the repository that you wish to use with ULTRA Cloud<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    Locate and copy the address<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Click the green Code<\/strong> button in the top right.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Copy the Git Repository address<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83d\udc49Tip:<\/strong> We recommend setting the Destination path<\/strong> field to wherever you’d like to keep the files you want to manage in the Git Repository<\/strong>, for example if you’re using Git<\/strong> to maintain a theme on the site your Destination path<\/strong> would be set to something like; \/home\/<username>\/site\/public_html\/my-theme\/<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83d\udca1Note: <\/strong>If you have set your Git Repository<\/strong> to public<\/strong> then there should be no further changes require and ULTRA Cloud<\/strong> should be able to connect to the Git Repository<\/strong>. However, if it’s set as private<\/strong> you’ll need to proceed with the steps bellow to authorise access between ULTRA Cloud<\/strong> and Git<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
