How to Create/Edit a Project

Navigate to the Projects page:

A Project configuration consists of the following fields:

• Name: This is what will be displayed in the Datacoves landing page.

• Git Repo: This is the git repository associated with this project.

  • Clone strategy: Determines how Datacoves will communicate with your git repository (SSH, HTTPS, or Azure DevOps Secret/Certificate). Select your desired cloning strategy to see configuration instructions:

    SSH

    When SSH is selected, an SSH public key will be automatically generated for you to configure in your git provider as a deployment key.

    

    HTTPS

    When HTTPS is selected, the following fields must be filled in: Git HTTPS url, Username, and Password.

    

    Azure DevOps Secret

    When Azure DevOps Secret is selected, a secret key is required for authentication. This assumes you have already created your EntraID application and added it as a user.

    See this how-to guide on configuring Azure DevOps for detailed configuration information.

    • Git SSH url: Cloning URL found in Azure DevOps Portal
    • Azure HTTPS Clone url: Cloning URL found in Azure DevOps Portal
    • Tenant ID: ID found in Azure Portal
    • Application ID: ID found in Azure Portal
    • Client Secret: Secret value found in Azure DevOps Portal
    • Release Branch: This will be the branch you would like to clone. Typically main.

    Azure DevOps Certificate

    When Azure DevOps Certificate is selected, a certificate is needed for secure communication.

    See this how-to guide on configuring Azure DevOps for detailed instructions.

    • Certificate PEM file: Copy the PEM file to your desktop and upload in Azure
    • Git SSH url: Cloning URL found in Azure DevOps Portal
    • Azure HTTPS Clone url: Cloning URL found in Azure DevOps Portal
    • Tenant ID: ID found in Azure Portal
    • Application ID: ID found in Azure Portal
    • Release Branch: Defines the default branch in your repository. Typically main or master.

• CI/CD Provider: When provided, this will display a link to your CI/CD jobs on the Observe tab of a Datacoves environment. Once you choose your provider, you will be able to specify your CI jobs home URL.

• Secrets Backend: Datacoves provides a Secrets Backend out of the box; you can also configure additional Secrets Backends for your projects such as AWS Secrets Manager.
