Source Control

When managing your custom assistants within an organization, you might want to take advantage of your usual source control workflows. Continue makes this easy with a GitHub Action that automatically syncs your YAML files with hub.continue.dev. We are also planning on adding automations for GitLab, BitBucket, Gitee, and others. If you are interested, please reach out to us on Discord.

Quickstart​

This quickstart uses a template repository, but you can also follow these steps 2-4 from an existing repository.

1. Create a new repository from the template​

As shown in the image below, start by creating a new repository from the template. Click "Use Template" and then "Create a new repository".

Use the template repository

2. Obtain a deploy key​

Deploy keys allow the GitHub Action to authenticate with hub.continue.dev. Obtain your deploy key here and then create a secret named CONTINUE_API_KEY in your GitHub repository.

3. Configure the GitHub Action​

tip

This step assumes you have already created an organization on hub.continue.dev. If not, learn more here.

In the repository you created, navigate to .github/workflows/main.yaml and update the lines below to match your organization:

env:
  OWNER_SLUG: my-org-slug # <-- TODO

This is the only configuration necessary, but you can view the full list of options here.

4. Commit and push​

Add the YAML for your assistants and blocks to the appropriate directories:

  • assistants/public for public assistants
  • assistants/private for private (visible only within your organization) assistants
  • blocks/public for public blocks
  • blocks/private for private blocks

Then, commit and push your changes. Once the GitHub Action has completed running, you should be able to view the assistants within your organization on hub.continue.dev.
