# Connect to a Git provider using basic authentication

Connect to a Git domain or repository using basic authentication credentials to manage applications in Fluent source control from ServiceNow Studio.

## Before you begin

-   From your Git provider, generate a personal access token to use for basic authentication to the Git domain. You must provide your Git user name and personal access token when configuring your credentials for ServiceNow Studio.
-   Create a dedicated Git repository for an application in a Git provider such as GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure Repos.

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **App Engine** > **ServiceNow Studio**.

2.  Use one of the following keyboard shortcuts to open the command palette:

    -   Windows: Ctrl-Shift-P
    -   Mac: Cmd-Shift-P
3.  Enter `Git: Set IDE Git credentials` and press Enter.

4.  From the New Git credential form, select **Basic auth** to authenticate with your Git user name and personal access token.

5.  On the form, fill in the fields to identify your repository and credentials.

    |Field|Description|
    |-----|-----------|
    |Git repository URL|HTTPS URL of a Git repository associated with your Git credentials.|
    |Git username|Your user name for the Git provider.|
    |Personal access token|Personal access token that you generate from your Git provider.|
    |Use this credential for all repositories|Option to use the credentials for all repositories in the Git domain associated with the Git repository URL.|

6.  Select **Submit**.


## Result

The instance associates your Git credentials with your user and uses them for all repositories in the domain from the Git repository URL. If you add different credentials for a repository in the same domain, the instance uses the new credentials and sets the previous credentials to inactive.

## What to do next

After initializing or cloning a repository, you can begin using Fluent source control. For more information, see [Using Fluent source control in ServiceNow Studio](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/application-development/servicenow-studio-classic/fluent-sc-using-fluent-source-control.md).

To manage existing Git credentials, use the `Git: Manage Git credentials` command from the command palette.
