Sync Namespace Files from Git

Imports Namespace Files from a Git branch into a Kestra namespace. Can delete files missing in Git, honors .kestraignore, and supports dry-run diff output.

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

Sync Namespace Files from a Git repository. This flow can run either on a schedule (using the Schedule trigger) or anytime you push a change to a given Git branch (using the Webhook trigger).

yaml
id: sync_from_git
namespace: company.ops

tasks:
  - id: git
    type: io.kestra.plugin.git.SyncNamespaceFiles
    namespace: prod
    gitDirectory: _files
    delete: true
    url: https://github.com/kestra-io/flows
    branch: main
    username: git_username
    password: "{{ secret('GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN') }}"
    dryRun: true

triggers:
  - id: every_minute
    type: io.kestra.plugin.core.trigger.Schedule
    cron: "*/1 * * * *"

Sync all flows and scripts for selected namespaces from Git to Kestra every full hour. Note that this is a System Flow, so make sure to adjust the Scope to SYSTEM in the UI filter to see this flow or its executions.

yaml
id: git_sync
namespace: company.ops

tasks:
  - id: sync
    type: io.kestra.plugin.core.flow.ForEach
    values: ["company", "company.team", "company.analytics"]
    tasks:
      - id: flows
        type: io.kestra.plugin.git.SyncFlows
        targetNamespace: "{{ taskrun.value }}"
        gitDirectory: "{{'flows/' ~ taskrun.value}}"
        includeChildNamespaces: false

      - id: scripts
        type: io.kestra.plugin.git.SyncNamespaceFiles
        namespace: "{{ taskrun.value }}"
        gitDirectory: "{{'scripts/' ~ taskrun.value}}"

Properties
Defaultmain

Branch to sync

Defaults to main.

Clone submodules

Default false; enable to fetch and initialize nested submodules.

Default10000

HTTP connect timeout (ms)

Default 10000 ms.

Defaultfalse

Delete files missing in Git

Default false. When true, removes Namespace Files absent from Git.

Defaultfalse

Dry run only

When true, writes a diff without applying changes to Kestra.

Defaulttrue

Fail if git directory missing

Default true. If false, skips when the rendered gitDirectory path does not exist.

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)
Default_files

Git directory for Namespace Files

Relative path containing files; defaults to _files.

Default{{ flow.namespace }}

Target namespace

Namespace receiving the files; defaults to the current flow namespace.

Disable proxy for HTTP

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

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.

Reference (ref) of the pluginDefaults to apply to this task.

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.

Default60000

HTTP read timeout (ms)

Default 60000 ms.

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.
