Source Control Configuration
Overview
The Source Control tab of the application configuration lets you link your application to a remote Git repository. Once connected, Bellini uses the repository for version control of your application's source. If source control was not set up during app creation, you can connect it here at any time.
For documentation on working with source control after connecting, see the Source Control section.
When To Use This
Use this tab when:
- You did not enable source control during app creation and want to connect a Git repository now.
- You need to review or manage the existing source control connection for the application.
Connecting a Git Provider
If no source control has been configured for the application, the tab shows three options:
- Continue with GitHub
- Continue with GitLab
- Continue with Bitbucket
Click your Git provider. You will be prompted to log in and authorize Bellini to access your repositories.
After authorizing, configure the repository:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Account | — | The connected Git account (read-only, shown for reference). |
| Repository | Yes | Name of the remote repository to create. |
| Description | No | Optional description for the repository. |
| Private | — | Check to make the repository private. |
| Branch | No | Main branch name. Uses the Git provider's default if left empty. |
Once confirmed, Bellini creates the remote repository and links it to the application.
Managing an Existing Source Control Connection
Once source control is configured, the tab displays the current connection details:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Repository | A link to the linked remote repository. |
| Branch | The main branch associated with the application. |
An Unlink button is available in the top-right corner of the tab. Clicking it removes the link between the application and the remote repository. Use this to disable source control or to connect a different repository.
