Connect GitHub repo with AppCenter for CI/CD - github

First of all I would like to mention that this repo is not created by me, it is owned by another team which I was given admin privilege. Here is the image:
What I'm trying to do is to connect this repo to MS App Center. However I don't see this repo in the list of available repos to connect. Here is the image:
Steps:
Go to Marketplace
Search for App Center and click on it (It is already downloaded)
Click on configure access (redirected to https://github.com/settings/installations)
Press on configure
Go to Repository access section and select Only select repositories to add my new repo
Here on the last step on trying to search for frontend keyword of my repo I was granted access to, however I don't see it in the list.
How can I find and connect it to App Center?

Deploy changes from GitHub to Salesforce

How can I add a custom button on GitHub.com which I could click on in order to deploy changes from the Master branch to a related Salesforce.com DEV Org?
What have you tried? Have you seen https://developer.salesforce.com/blogs/2020/01/using-salesforce-dx-with-github-actions ?
You can steal sample actions from SF official repo at https://github.com/trailheadapps/lwc-recipes.
You'll need to provide the secret login URL to your target org, there are blog posts how to generate it and store in GitHub variable, for example https://tigerfacesystems.com/blog/sfdx-continuous-integration/ or https://github.com/sfdx-actions/setup-sfdx
Last but not least - to have action available for manual run (not just automated) read up about "workflow_dispatch"

How to link GitHub repository with JIRA project?

I have a software project in JIRA and want to link that project with a GitHub repository so that when I create tasks in the JIRA project I can branch out in the corresponding GitHub repository, etc. I was able to link my GitHub account with my JIRA account (https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/connect-jira-cloud-to-github-814188429.html) but I don't know how to connect one of my JIRA projects with a specific GitHub repository.
For example, when I create a task in my JIRA project I expect to see a link on the task page to create a branch. There's no such links because the project is not linked to a repository.
EDIT: I don't see the Development panel on the issue page in JIRA. If I were able to see that panel that would solve this problem (likely).
EDIT: I am trying to see this panel on the issue page. This is from JIRA's help pages.
EDIT: Instead I see this (notice no Development panel on the right side that allows me to create a branch)
Step 1. Create an OAuth access token for your GitHub account
Log in to GitHub as a user with admin permissions on the account.
Choose Edit Your Profile.
Select OAuth Applications.
Select the Developer Applications tab.
Choose Register new OAuth application.
Enter a name for Application Name.
Enter the JIRA Software URL for both the URL and Callback URL fields. Press Register Application.
Keep your browser open at your GitHub account while you go on with the next step.
Step 2. Add the OAuth token in JIRA Software
Log in to JIRA Software as a user with admin permissions.
From the JIRA Software dashboard click the cog (settings) icon.
Choose Applications.
From the Integrations section on the left, choose DVCS accounts.
Click Link Bitbucket Cloud or GitHub account.
Choose 'GitHub' as the Host value.
Enter a Team or User Account name.
Copy the Client ID and Client Secret values from your GitHub site into the dialog.
Leave the default auto link and Smart Commits (recommended) as is or change them
Click Add.
Grant access when prompted
When JIRA connects successfully, you'll see your account on the 'DVCS accounts' page.

I cannot link toolchain to different github organization

I have a github account: https://github.com/remkohdev
and am a member of several github organizations
I have added all organizations to the Bluemix DevOps Third Party applications authorizations.
But I cannot change the default github organization to a different organization when I enable the Toolchain on Bluemix, so that I can create/edit the source code to the repo in a different than default Github organization?
Error:
The integration could not be set up. Check the settings and try again.
Reason: Unable to update the git integration. An error occurred while cloning the git repository. Error details: Unable to read the repository on: https://github.com/eventquarry/server.git. User is not authorized, or repository does not exist.
When you authorized with GitHub you probably did not explicitly grant access to the eventquarry organization.
To fix this, first you need to revoke your token by logging into Github.com, then click settings > Authorized applications > Revoke "IBM Bluemix Toolchains". Now go back to Bluemix, and when you click on the GitHub tool you will see an “Authorize” button. Upon clicking, you will be taken to GitHub, and here you need to click "Grant Access" next to eventquarry (and all orgs you would like to grant access to) before clicking "Authorize application".
Now you should be able to fork/clone/link with the private repositories in the eventquarry organization.
The devops git folks responded with this:
Right now, we don't support the ability to create new organization repositories through the toolchain UI. Any new repos are created under the personal account of the user. It is possible to link to existing organization repos by typing in the repo URL in the field. (Org repos won't show up in the dropdown, but the URL can be entered manually.) Note that the user needs admin privileges on the repo they're linking to in order to have a fully functioning integration though. It's possible to link to a repo without admin privileges, but we can't create a webhook on the repo, so there's no way for us to be notified of commit events. Pipelines will only run manually if the user doesn't have admin privileges on the repo.

Import existing web application into Bluemix

I've existing Web application developed and would like to import the entire repo into Bluemix. This web application required Web Server, Node.js and Bootstrap. Which is the most appropriate buildpack under CloundFoundry should I use?
I've uploaded my application to Github
https://github.com/mikeytsk/signage_example_0408
Thanks
Michael
use following steps to add your git repository for Deploying app on Bluemix.
1) Create an app on bluemix by clicking on "Cloud Foundry app "and then
Then on Web -
and Then choose SDK for Node.js-
2) Give you App a name. You can see your App staging and started on Bluemix.
3) Click on the App and you will be redirected to App overview page. There you will find ADD GIT option at top right corner.
4) A pop will appear asking you to create git Repository. Click on "Create" option to create one.
5) Now you can see a git repository created for you. The link is given at top right corner. But the Git repository created will be in hub.jazz.net not GITHUB.
6) To Sync your app with Github account, click on the Git url, a new tab will open with Git Repository shown to you. Click on the button at right top corner.
7) A pop will come up. Select Change repository and link you Git hub account with Bluemix.
8) Clicking on Authorise with Github will take you to github page, where you can authorise Bluemix to access your Repository. Once, its done. It will be easy for you to use your existing Repository with Bluemix.
In case, you can also go through the Bluemix Documentation for further clarity. Following is the link -
https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/starters/deploy_devops.html
Hope this helps you, Let me know if you face any issue.

GitHub Organization Repo + Jenkins (GitHub Plugin) integration

I have an organization on GitHub with private repositories. I also have Jenkins set up running on port 8080 on a server, with the GitHub plugin installed. I've created an account on GitHub for my jenkins user, which resides in the owners group.
I'm trying to trigger a job on jenkins when a change is pushed to my development branch (or master branch, neither seem to be working).
When I look at the GitHub Hook Logs in Jenkins, it says that Polling has not run yet. When I go to "Manage Jenkins", the GitHub plugin says my account is Verified when I test it.
Any insight on how to configure this? I have multiple repositories I'd like to work with, so deploy keys don't seem like the solution to me.
Update:
As Craig Ringer mentions in his answer, you can select Grant READ permissions for /github-webhook in "Configure Jenkins" under the GitHub plugin settings, allowing the webhook to be called without authentication.
Another update: Webhooks are now (Dec. 2014) available for organization: see WebHooks API for orgs.
Note: the issue 4 of the hudson-github-plugin was about:
Last GitHub Push
Polling has not run yet.
And the conclusion was:
Nevermind, the only missing piece was a permission checkbox for the github user which ain't documented anywhere on the internet.
So is this a permission issue regarding your Jenkins users?
The article "Set up Jenkins-CI on Ubuntu for painless Rails3 app CI testing" includes the following process:
To restrict the CI system and give access to your Team members to use or see the build logs, first you’ve to create an account.
Go to Manage Jenkins > Configure System,
Check the Enable Security checkbox
Under Security Realm, choose Jenkins's own user database
Check the Allow users to sign up checkbox
Under Authorization, choose Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy
Add first user with the name admin and another with GitHub (Note: the username for Admin access has to be admin) For GitHub named user, just choose the Overall Read only permission. We’ll use this user later with the GitHub hook.
Note: The admin and GitHub user that we’ve added in the above step does not create the User. Then you’ve to create a real user with that same name. Ya, I know, its a bit weird with Jenkins UI.
Go to Manage Jenkins > Manage Users > Create User. Create both admin and GitHub users.
Hooking with the Github web-hooks
Now to run the build automagically when new commit or branch gets pushed onto Github, we have to setup the repository.
Got to the hooks page for your repository. e.g.
github.com/<username>/<project_name>/admin/hooks
Under AVAILABLE SERVICE HOOKS > Post-Receive URLs, add github:github#your-ci-server.com/github-webhook/.
The github:github is the user that we’d created earlier.
Then we have to verify Jenkins with Github. Go to Manage Jenkins > Configure System and under GitHub Web Hook, add your Github username and password and click the Test Credential button to authorize once with Github.
It looks like the accepted answer is no longer necessary with the current version of the GitHub plugin. You can instead check Grant READ permissions for /github-webhook in "Configure Jenkins" under the GitHub plugin settings, allowing the webhook to be called without authentication.
As explained in the help on this option that's quite safe, and frankly no worse than having a user named "github" with password "github" anyway.
There are two ways to achieve automatic builds on Jenkins. What you choose depends on whether GitHub can call the Jenkins server URL you provide. This may not be the case if you are running Jenkins behind a firewall.
If GitHub can reach that URL you can set up the service hook on your repo there.
If not you can set up Jenkins to poll periodically.
You may set up both, but one solution is enough to get it working. I would always go for the first if feasible as it saves resources CPU and traffic wise.
Either way you need the GitHub plugin for Jenkins.
Hope that helps a bit.
