Add Git Provider

Bytebase supports following Git Providers:

• GitHub.com
• GitHub Enterprise
• GitLab.com
• Self-host GitLab
• Bitbucket.org
• Azure DevOps

Prerequisites

• You must be the Workspace Admin to add Git provider.
• You may also need the help of the selected Git provider admin to create the dedicated service user and the personal access token.

Overview

All providers share a similar setup:

1. Create a dedicated service user.
2. Obtain the service user credential such as personal access token with the required repository permissions:
   • Create Webhook. Bytebase creates a webhook in the repository to observe the merge event.
   • Read Repository. Bytebase reads the repository migration file to get the change statements.
   • Write Comment. Bytebase may add a comment to the merge request.

The token may have an expired date. When the token is expired, you need to update the provider with a new token.

Follow the instructions on the Git provider setup page. Below are the screenshots showing the required permissions/scopes.
