Part 1: Setup

What Will You Do

In this section you will

• Fork a Github repository
• Add the forked repo to the controller

Step 1: Fork Git Repo

In this step, you will fork a git repository to your account. The forked repo will contain declarative specs for the workload resources used in this guide. A GitOps pipeline will be created later in this guide which will be triggered by commits to this forked repository.

• Ensure you are logged into your GitHub.com account
• Navigate to the public Git repository
• Click to fork the repository
• Select your account name to fork the repo to
• Once complete, you should see a copy of the repository in your Git system (e.g., GitHub).

Step 2: Add Repository

In this step, you will add the forked repository to the controller so that the controller can deploy resources from the repo.

• In your project, navigate to Integrations -> Repositories

• Click New Repository

• Enter gitops-workload-gs for the repo name

• Select Git for Type

• Click Create

• Enter the forked Git repo's Endpoint URL

• Click Save

Recap

At this point, you have successfully set up the repository for use in the GitOps application lifecycle.
