How to set up Git integration in your application

​

Getting the GitHub Access Token

• Visit the Personal access tokens page to obtain your access token. Click on “Generate new token” and choose the “classic” option.
• When choosing the classic token option, select only the “repos” option and do not set an expiration time. Remember to give a name to your token so that you can identify it later.

• Finally, click on “Generate token” at the bottom of the page. Your access token will be displayed for you to copy.

​

Configuring the Access Token in Square Cloud

• After obtaining the access token, go to the dashboard, select your app, navigate to the Deploy section, and paste your token in the corresponding field. Click on “Save”.

• After saving, a URL webhook will be displayed that you need to copy.

​

Configuring the Square Cloud Webhook on GitHub

• Now, access your application’s repository (which can be private or public) and go to “Deploy”. Then, click on “Webhooks” and then on “Add Webhook”.
• Paste your webhook in the Payload URL field, set the Content Type to application/json, and click on “Add Webhook”.

​

Setting a branch for webhook

• If you want to set a branch for the webhook, you can set a query parameter in the webhook URL.
• Access the webhook Payload URL field in your GitHub repository and insert on the end of the webhook URL ?branch=name where name is the name of the desired branch.

​

Deploy

• If you have followed all the steps correctly, simply commit to your repository. Your application on Square Cloud will be updated.
