Hi team,

I have a few projects created as (generic) 'GIT' repositories. They point to private GH forks but I can't create these projects as from an existing GH connection (reference: GH Ability to manually add a GitHub repo (eg. another fork from someone else) #136).

I could also use POSTMAN but that's a bit PITA too.

So i started using the generic GIT connection and it works great. I can manually build (eg. press the play button in AV), etc. BUT it's not auto-queuing when i push up a commit to my private GH repo.

Is this a restriction of using the generic GIT connection thingy when creating a new project?

eg. screen shot of the Project->Settings->General page...

hi

    "Git" provider was made for "everything else" git hosting and it has a number of limitations:

    • Its webhook payload is not compatible with GitHub
    • appveyor.yml is not supported (unless its contents is passed in webhook payload).

    There is a sample post-receive hook written in Ruby if you have access to bare server-side repo: https://github.com/appveyor/webhooks/tree/master/git

    I'd better use "GitHub" provider for GH repositories. If it's private repo, after changing its name on General tab you just need to copy public SSH key between repos.

    Where do i find this public SSH key so I can copy it?

    Nevermind - i ended up using Postman to create a repo via the AV api :)
