Set up Git users to work with the Git Connector

Prerequisite

Important

Your Git users need two types of permissions:

those associated with the "classic" Helix Server p4 protect command
those associated with the "graph depot" p4 grant-permission command

For details on Helix Server permissions, see Securing the server.

Authentication

Depending on the network protocol you selected during the Git Connector configuration, you now need to set up either SSH or HTTPS authentication for each user and from each computer used to clone, push, and pull Git repos.

When this setup is complete, provide SSH or HTTPS URLs to Git client users. These URLs include the IP address or host name of the Git Connector and the path to the respective repo, which consists of the graph depot name and the repo name. The URLs have the following format:

SSH:

$ git command git@ConnectorHost:graphDepotName/repoName

HTTPS:

$ git command https://username@ConnectorHost/graphDepotName/repoName
