Using Github as a code repository for SnapLogic artifacts

[sudhendu]

Hello SL community!!

Coming from a typical SOA/ESB background and working on tools like TIBCO Businessworks, Webmethods, etc. I was wondering if we have a way of using any code repository tool (Github, etc.) to store our Projects and other artifacts.

I understand we have a intuitive Import/Export capabilities, this is manual and is a explicit activity to be performed by a developer.

I was wondering:

1. if we have anything (or is there a possibility) to integrate SL and GitHub.
   This should ensure that the Project and its assets gets checked-in into the GitHub repo without us doing any manual import-export.

2. And that this can be further use to move code from one environment to another (code migration).

I am new to the SL world, but already finding the community really helpful 🙂

All response would be of help 🙂

Thank you!

Hello @bhavin.patel I tried to using above attached slps but I keep on getting below error.

"REST API service endpoint returned error result: status code = 404, reason phrase = Not Found, refer to the error_entity field in the error view document for more details

“error_entity”:
"{“message”:“Not Found”,“documentation_url”:"Repositories - GitHub Docs
{

“error”:
“REST API service endpoint returned error result: status code = 404, reason phrase = Not Found”

Steps I followed below :

1. created account in Github let say “subhashchandra” is my user
2. created a repository under that let say “SL_poc” is my repository
3. under SL_POC I made the same folder structure like in SnapLogic org I have
   let say folder structure like this
   SnapLogicOrgName/Projectspacename/Foldername
4. created the REST basic auth account in SnapLogic with github credential
5. in SnapLogic REST GET snap selected the account and in url like below

https://api.github.com/repos/subhashchandra/SL_POC/contents/SnapLogicOrgName/Projectspacename/Folder... name

6. user-Agent as header and provided my github username.

Even from POST MAN app I also tried but no luck…

Appreciate your help here.

and tell me one more thing how differfent is if I want to do in gitlab instead github.

if you have any sample code for gitlab that will be very helpful for me.

Hello @dmiller I got the solution by myself and able to integrate Gitlab and Github both from SnapLogic.

Thanks for your info.

Hi, We’re a new SL user and are wrestling with the best way to join up our SL projects and repositories/branches in GitHub. There have been some posts on this previously but nothing recent we could see, so we wondering how people have set this up since the GitHub Integration was released. We would ideally like something that allows multiple streams of work to be developed and then brought together at the end, but without the level of granularity with means everything has it’s own project/repo. …

CI/CD support with SnapLogic's GitHub Cloud Integration feature

So the solution provided here is just an asset “copy”.
Meaning that it simply copies the original asset from the source place and copy it to the destination place.
The github is just a place to store the location of the original assets.

The promotion pipeline will read the files in github to get the location of the original asset and move(copy) it to destination location.

The problem of this is that, the files store in Github is not being used as source code. If I remove the asset from the source location, then the promotion pipeline will not be able to migrate the asset from source to destination as its doing a copy and the asset is missing.

Is there a way to take the files store in github as true source code and import this source code to a new org? In this case, even someone removes all the assets from source org, by importing the files in Git, we should still be able to migrate all the assets into destination org.

Thanks
