The URI to clone from.

The initial Git branch.

Whether to clone submodules.

Default 1

Minimum >= 1

Creates a shallow clone with a history truncated to the specified number of commits.

The optional directory associated with the clone operation.

If the directory isn't set, the current directory will be used.

The passphrase for the privateKey.

The password or Personal Access Token (PAT). When you authenticate the task with a PAT, any flows or files pushed to Git from Kestra will be pushed from the user associated with that PAT. This way, you don't need to configure the commit author (the authorName and authorEmail properties).

PEM-format private key content that is paired with a public key registered on Git.

To generate an ECDSA PEM format key from OpenSSH, use the following command: ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 256 -m PEM. You can then set this property with your private key content and put your public key on Git.

The username or organization.

The path where the repository is cloned.
