Git TenantSync

Git TenantSync

Certified

Sync a tenant between Kestra and Git

Synchronizes all Namespaces, flows, files, dashboards, apps, unit tests, and custom blueprints for the current tenant. Defaults to Kestra as source of truth; deletions follow whenMissingInSource and protectedNamespaces are always kept. Use dryRun to inspect the diff before applying.

yaml
type: io.kestra.plugin.git.TenantSync

Sync all objects (flows, files, dashboards, namespaces, apps, unit tests, and custom blueprints) under the same tenant as this flow using Git as the source of truth

yaml
id: tenant_sync_git
namespace: company.ops
tasks:
  - id: sync
    type: io.kestra.plugin.git.TenantSync
    sourceOfTruth: GIT
    whenMissingInSource: DELETE
    protectedNamespaces:

Properties

Authentication information

Definitions
apiTokenstring

API token for Bearer authentication

autobooleanstring
Defaulttrue

Automatically retrieve the URL and the credentials from Kestra's configuration if available

The default configuration can be configured globally inside the Kestra configuration file:

  • Set kestra.tasks.sdk.authentication.url to use a given API URL
  • Set kestra.tasks.sdk.authentication.api-token to use an API token
  • Set kestra.tasks.sdk.authentication.username and kestra.tasks.sdk.authentication.password for HTTP basic authentication The Enterprise edition also provides setting a default configuration at the Namespace of Tenant level by an administrator. Set this to false without any credentials to call a Kestra API that requires no authentication.
passwordstring

Password for HTTP Basic authentication

usernamestring

Username for HTTP Basic authentication

Branch to read and write

Required. Do not prefix with origin/ or refs/heads/.

Commit author email

Commit author name

Defaults to the rendered username when not set.

Clone Git submodules

Set to true to fetch and checkout submodules; defaults to false.

Default10000

HTTP connect timeout (ms)

Default 10000 ms.

Defaultfalse

Plan-only mode

When true, computes the diff and outputs it without applying changes.

Git configuration overrides

Map of git config keys and values applied after clone, e.g.:

  • core.fileMode: false (ignore permission flips)
  • core.autocrlf: false (preserve line endings)

Base folder for Kestra files

This is the base folder in your Git repository where Kestra will look for code and files. If you don't set it, the repo root will be used. Inside that folder, Kestra always expects a structure like /flows, /files, etc.

gitDirectory namespace Expected Git path
(not set) company company/flows/my-flow.yaml
monorepo company.ops monorepo/company.ops/flows/my-flow.yaml
projectA company.team projectA/company.team/flows/my-flow.yaml

Note: a dotted namespace such as company.team maps to a folder literally named company.team, not to a nested company/team path.

Kestra API URL

URL of the Kestra server API. If not set, the URL of the default SDK authentication is used, set with the kestra.tasks.sdk.authentication.url configuration property, or at the namespace or the tenant level on the Enterprise Edition. It then falls back to the kestra.url configuration property, and finally to http://localhost: 8080.

Known hosts file content used for SSH host key verification

OpenSSH known_hosts-formatted content used to verify the remote server's SSH host key. If not set, the system/user known_hosts file is used. Only relevant when strictHostKeyChecking is true.

Disable proxy for HTTP

When true, forces direct connections instead of using the JVM proxy settings.

DefaultFAIL
Possible Values
SKIPWARNFAIL

Action on invalid resource syntax

Defaults to FAIL. Use WARN or SKIP to continue when parsing issues occur.

Passphrase for privateKey

Password or personal access token

Supplies HTTP credentials. When a PAT is used, pushes are recorded under that PAT’s user without needing authorName and authorEmail.

**GitHub PAT permissions required: **

  • Fine-grained PAT: Contents: Read (clone/fetch) or Contents: Read and Write (push), plus Metadata: Read (mandatory base permission). Add Workflows: Read and Write when pushing .github/workflows/ files.
  • Classic PAT: repo scope covers all read/write operations; add workflow when pushing workflow files.

PEM private key

PEM-formatted private key matching a public key registered on the Git server. Generate with ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 256 -m PEM.

SubTypestring
Default["system"]

Namespaces protected from deletion

Always kept even if whenMissingInSource is DELETE.

Default60000

HTTP read timeout (ms)

Default 60000 ms.

DefaultKESTRA
Possible Values
GITKESTRA

Source of truth for sync

Defaults to KESTRA. Choose GIT to make the repository authoritative.

Whether to verify the SSH remote server's host key

When enabled, the host key presented by the Git server is verified against knownHosts (if provided) or the system/user known_hosts file. Disabling it exposes the connection to man-in-the-middle attacks (CWE-297). Set knownHosts alongside this property for a hardened setup. The default differs by edition: disabled (false) on Kestra OSS, enabled (true) on Kestra Enterprise Edition.

Extra trusted CA PEM path

Optional PEM-encoded CA bundle added to the JVM truststore; equivalent to git config http.sslCAInfo <path> for self-signed or internal CAs.

Repository URL

HTTP(S) or SSH URI used for clone and push operations.

Username or organization

Used for HTTP basic authentication and as a fallback commit author.

DefaultDELETE
Possible Values
DELETEKEEPFAIL

Action when item missing in source

Default DELETE. Determines whether missing resources are deleted, kept, or cause the task to fail.

Commit ID pushed (if any)

Commit URL (if any)

Formaturi

Diff file with planned/applied changes

Points to the ion diff stored in internal storage; includes dry-run plans.
