We will be using GitHub to create and store the files we need through out the course (and use GitHub Actions to automate the deployment later).
When your start your first project in Tilde, you will receive the a GitHub repository under Umuzi’s GitHub organization. This is the repository you’ll be using through out the course.
Since this is a private repository, you will need a GitHub personal access token to clone it inside the EC2 instance.
You can also opt to setup your SSH credentials within the EC2 instance if you know how to do it.
Here is how you generate the token:
umuzi-k8s, give it an expiration of 60 days and check the repo box to give it repo-wide permissionsOn the following page, you’ll be given the token. It is a string similar to ghp_very-long-random-string. Copy and save it somewhere safe.
On your EC2 instance, clone the repository inside your home folder:
# enters the home folder and clones the repo
# make sure to clone it as `umuzi-k8s` folder, we will be using it during the course
cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/<your-user-name>/<your-repo>.git umuzi-k8s
You’ll be asked for a username and password. For the first, enter your username. For the latter, enter the GitHub personal access token you generated.
Every time we make a change we will need to go under this folder and manually pull the changes with the following command:
# update the changes from GitHub
cd /home/ubuntu/umuzi-k8s
git pull
