Git server is a centralized platform for hosting Git repositories, facilitating version control and collaboration in software development projects. The IT-Conductor Git Adapter enables seamless integration and synchronization across diverse Git servers, including GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, Azure DevOps, and self-hosted options. Software development teams use various Git platforms depending on their project requirements and preferences.
To configure a git server in IT-Conductor, follow the instructions below.
Visit service.itconductor.com and enter your login credentials.
Navigate to Dashboards → Administrator to access the Administrator's Dashboard.
Locate the Git Servers actions panel and click the title to access the complete list.
