Add Git connection

To add GitLab personal Git token in Brainboard, you first need to generate it in your GitLab account.

To add the generated token in Brainboard:

1. Go to the Git integration settings page.

2. Click on Integrations

3. In the section Personal connections Click on Add connection

4. Select GitLab tab

   
5. Add your credentials in the displayed window:

   • Name of the token. This is only for Brainboard, it will not be used when you do a pull request.

   • The URL of your GitLab server: by default Brainboard uses https://gitlab.com, but if you have a private Gitlab instance accessible through the internet or if you use a single-tenant Brainboard offering, you can specify a different URL.

6. Then click on Save and close button.

7. Brainboard will verify if the credentials are valid:

   1. If they are valid, Brainboard displays a success message and you can see the integration now in the Git connection page

      
   2. If they are not, you'll receive an error about what is wrong. For example:
