Repository Provisioning

Offering GitHub repositories in a self-service model to application teams can significantly reduce the time needed to start a new project. By integrating GitHub repositories as a service through the meshStack marketplace, you streamline the onboarding process for your teams.

Getting Started

Prerequisites: Your organization should be using GitHub SaaS, GitHub Enterprise, or GitHub Enterprise Server.

Step 1: Set Up the GitHub Platform in meshStack

To enable GitHub as a platform, navigate to the admin area in meshStack, select Platforms, and click on Create New Platform at the top right. Complete the required fields, and choose GitHub as the platform type.

Step 2: Configure Repository Provisioning

After creating the GitHub platform, access the platform configuration by navigating to Settings → Configuration. To make the repository service available in the marketplace, complete the following steps:

1. Create a Building Block Definition

Define a building block that provides meshStack with the necessary information to create new GitHub repositories when users initiate the process. We already have prepared a template that you can use here.

2. Create a Landing Zone

Configure the building block definition as a mandatory component in a new landing zone specifically for the GitHub platform.

Step 3: Test the Marketplace Integration

Once the landing zone is created, you can test the new GitHub repository service by accessing it through a workspace in the marketplace.

Congratulations! You're one step closer to delivering a fully automated platform experience for your application teams.ss automation workflows from the marketplace, enhancing their productivity and reducing the need for Git expertise.
