Effective June 17, 2024, Cloud Source Repositories isn't available to new customers. If your organization hasn't previously used Cloud Source Repositories, you can't enable the API or use Cloud Source Repositories. New projects not connected to an organization can't enable the Cloud Source Repositories API. Organizations that have used Cloud Source Repositories prior to June 17, 2024 are not affected by this change.

Adding a repository as a remote

You can use Cloud Source Repositories to add a Google Cloud repository as a remote to a local Git repository.

Before you begin

In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.

Note: If you don't plan to keep the resources that you create in this procedure, create a project instead of selecting an existing project. After you finish these steps, you can delete the project, removing all resources associated with the project.

Go to project selector
Install Git.
Install the Google Cloud CLI, then initialize it by running the following command:
```
gcloud init
```

Add the repository as a remote

Change your current working directory to the directory that contains your local Git repository:
```
cd [REPO_DIRECTORY]
```
Where [REPO_DIRECTORY] is the path to your repository.
On Linux or macOS, run the credential helper script:
Linux or macOS
```
git config --global credential.'https://source.developers.google.com'.helper gcloud.sh
```
Windows
```
git config --global credential.https://source.developers.google.com.helper gcloud.cmd
```
Credential helper scripts provide the information that Git needs to connect securely to Cloud Source Repositories using your Google Account credentials. You don't need to perform any additional configuration steps (for example, uploading ssh keys) to establish this secure connection.

Note: The Google Cloud CLI must be in your $PATH for the credential helper scripts to work. If you cannot use the Google Cloud CLI, you can manually generate static credentials. For example, if you're on a build server, you might not have access to the gcloud CLI. For more information, see Generating static credentials in this topic.
Create the repository in Cloud Source Repositories:
```
gcloud source repos create [REPO_NAME]
```
Where [REPO_NAME] is the name for your Google Cloud repository.
Add a repository as a remote:
```
git remote add google \
https://source.developers.google.com/p/[PROJECT_ID]/r/[REPO_NAME]
```
Where:
- [PROJECT_ID] is your Google Cloud project ID.
- [REPO_NAME] is the name of your Google Cloud repository.

Use the repository as a remote

Google Cloud repositories are fully featured Git repositories. You can use the standard set of Git commands to interact with these repositories, including push, pull, clone, and log.

Push to a Google Cloud repository

To push from your local Git repository to a Google Cloud repository, enter this command:

git push google master

Pull from a Google Cloud repository

To pull from a Google Cloud repository to your local Git repository, enter this command:

git pull google master

View the commit history of a Google Cloud repository

To view the commit history, enter this command:

git log google/master

Generate static credentials

In some cases, you might not have access to the gcloud CLI. For example, you might work on a build server that doesn't have access to these tools. In these situations, you can manually generate static credentials.

In the Google Cloud console, open Cloud Source Repositories.

Open Cloud Source Repositories
Hold the pointer over the repository you want to clone.
Click Clone .

A dialog with authentication options opens.
Click the Manually generated credentials tab and follow the instructions to clone your repository.

What's next

After you have pushed source files to Cloud Source Repositories, you can view repository files from within the Google Cloud console.
