Hi guys,
while there are a huge number of repository actions in FinalBuilder there are none in Continua CI. We are planning to automatically upload our build artifacts to a git repository and would like to see support for direct interaction with a git repository. have you already planned to add this kind of actions to ContinuaCI?
For now we could use command execution action with the git binary which is already installed but credential management is a bit tricky for the service account and we will likely have to include the credentials in every command line which is a security nightmare. Or is there a better way to automatically push commits to a git repository?
Kind regards

Hi Kay
We don’t have any plans to add version control actions to Continua CI.
What sort of artifacts are you planning to store in Git? Git is not a great place to store binary files, especially if they are changing all the time. I would look at using an artifact repository like
https://www.sonatype.com/nexus-repository-oss
https://jfrog.com/artifactory/
https://archiva.apache.org/index.cgi
Hi Vincent,
git is just a temporary solution until our Artifactory setup is ready to use. We store the MSI setups for our multi tier CRM application in git to provide our admistrators a stable way to access the setups for the update process. We need to fulfill some SOX compliance criteria for our application and git is our only available means to provide versioned delivery of our release version. This release is to be automated.
Thanks for the information
Kind regards
