Git Providers

Kipper supports deploying applications from Git repositories. The Git provider is detected automatically from the repository URL.

Supported providers

Provider	Detection	Auth method
GitHub	github.com in URL	Personal Access Token
GitLab (cloud)	gitlab.com in URL	Deploy Token
GitLab (self-hosted)	Everything else	Deploy Token

Authentication

GitHub: Personal Access Token

kip app deploy --name backend \
  --git https://github.com/acme/api \
  --git-token github_pat_xxx \
  --port 3000

GitLab: Deploy Token

kip app deploy --name backend \
  --git https://gitlab.com/acme/api \
  --git-token gldt-xxx \
  --port 3000

Other providers

GitHub and GitLab are the only providers Kipper currently ships with. The internal GitProvider interface is provider-agnostic, so adding Gitea, Forgejo, Bitbucket, or another self-hosted system is a contained addition. Contributions welcome.
