Other Git repository hosts

Site admins can sync Git repositories on any Git repository host (by Git clone URL) with Sourcegraph so that users can search and navigate the repositories. Use this method only when your repository host is not named as a supported code host.

To connect generic Git host to Sourcegraph:

  1. Go to Site admin > Manage code hosts > Add repositories
  2. Select Generic Git host.
  3. Configure the connection to generic Git host the action buttons above the text field, and additional fields can be added using Cmd/Ctrl+Space for auto-completion. See the configuration documentation below.
  4. Press Add repositories.

Constructing the url for SSH access

NOTE: Repository access over SSH is not yet supported on Sourcegraph Cloud.

If your code host serves git repositories over SSH, make sure your Sourcegraph instance can connect to your code host over SSH:

docker exec $CONTAINER ssh -p $PORT $USER@$HOSTNAME
  • $CONTAINER is the name or ID of your sourcegraph/server container
  • $PORT is the port on which your code host's git server is listening for connections
  • $USER is your user on your code host
  • $HOSTNAME is the hostname of your code host from within the sourcegraph/server container (e.g. githost.example.com)

Here's an example:

docker exec sourcegraph ssh -p 29418 [email protected]

The url field is then

  "url": "ssh://$USER@$HOSTNAME:$PORT"`

Here's an example:

  "url": "ssh://[email protected]:29418",

Adding repositories

Elements of the repos field are the same as the repository names. For example, a repository at https://githost.example.com/admin/repos/gorilla/mux will be "gorilla/mux" in the repos field.

Repositories must be listed individually:

  "repos": [
    "gorilla/mux",
    "sourcegraph/sourcegraph"
  ]
