Using Framework Auto-Detection in Server Compass

Using Framework Auto-Detection is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to get started.

2

Select Repository

The Hard Way

Framework Auto-Detection vs. The Command Line

Miss the old days? Here's how to do everything Framework Auto-Detection does... the hard way.

1

Generate GitHub token

Create a personal access token.

terminal
# Go to GitHub.com
# Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens
# Generate new token (classic)
# Select scopes: repo, workflow
# Copy token (you'll only see it once!)

Tokens expire. You'll be doing this again.

2

Configure git on server

Set up authentication.

terminal
ssh root@your-server-ip
git config --global credential.helper store
# Clone using HTTPS with token
git clone https://[email protected]/username/repo.git
# Token is now in plaintext in ~/.git-credentials

Token stored in plaintext file. Security risk.

3

Set up deploy key (safer)

Or use SSH keys for each repo.

terminal
# Generate key
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "deploy-key-myapp"
# Copy public key
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
# Go to GitHub repo > Settings > Deploy keys > Add
# Paste the key
# Repeat for every single repository
