gcloud alpha builds connections create github

NAME
gcloud alpha builds connections create github - create a Cloud Build Connection of type GitHub
SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha builds connections create github (CONNECTION : --region=REGION) [--async] [--authorizer-token-secret-version=AUTHORIZER_TOKEN_SECRET_VERSION : --app-installation-id=APP_INSTALLATION_ID] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) Create a Cloud Build Connection of type GitHub (for github.com).

Connections for github.com can be created either by following an installation process (that requires manual steps in a web browser) or by providing the properties of an already-installed application (installation ID and a user token) as arguments to this command.

EXAMPLES
To create a connection by following the installation process, provide only the connection name:
gcloud alpha builds connections create github myconn --project=myproj --region=us-central1

The command will print a URL to be opened in a web browser in order to authorize Cloud Build (i.e. Cloud Build gets an OAuth token for the github account that you use). After doing this authorization, you can get the connection's installation state with the describe command:

gcloud alpha builds connections describe myconn

The output will include a second link to install the Cloud Build GitHub App. After doing this, the connection will be in installation state COMPLETE and repositories can be added to it (see gcloud alpha builds repositories create).

--

To create a complete connection (e.g. based on an existing user token and installation), provide both the authorizer secret token and the app installation id:

gcloud alpha builds connections create github myconn --project=myproj --region=us-central1 --authorizer-token-secret-version=projects/myproj/secrets/mytoken/versions/1 --app-installation-id=1234

Above command creates the connection in installation state COMPLETE, ready for adding repositories.
