Github integration

Introduction

You can integrate Flagship with Github in order to synchronize your Flag references in your codebase with Flagship.

Using the Codebase Analyzer, Flagship can look through your entire codebase in order to check for the reference of the flag inside your code.
The Flag references are then sent back to Flagship in order for you to view their references on the Flag page on the Flagship Platform.

How to integrate Flagship with Github

You can set up the codebase analyzer to run on a specific step of your Github CI pipeline:

.github/workflows/main.yml example:

on: [push]

jobs:
  flagship_flag_references:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: A job to say hello
    steps:
    - name: Sync Flag References
      id: sync-flag-references
      uses: flagship.io/codebase-analyzer-action@v1
      with:
        flagshipClientId: ${{ secrets.FLAGSHIP_CLIENT_ID }}
        flagshipClientSecret: ${{ secrets.FLAGSHIP_CLIENT_SECRET }}
        environmentId: ${{ secrets.FLAGSHIP_ENV_ID }}
        accountId: ${{ secrets.FLAGSHIP_ACCOUNT_ID }}
        repositoryUrl: '${{ env.GITHUB_SERVER_URL }}/${{ env.GITHUB_REPOSITORY }}'
        repositoryBranch: ${{ env.GITHUB_REF }}

For that integration you will need to fill out those parameters:

• repositoryUrl: the URL of the repository you want to analyze. This is needed in order to display the link to your flag reference inside the Flag page of the Flagship platform.
• repositoryBranch: the branch of the repository you want to analyze. This is needed in order to display the link to your flag reference inside the Flag page of the Flagship platform.
• flagshipClientId: the Flagship API Client ID needed for the codebase analyzer to communicate Flag references to Flagship. Remote Control API for more details.
• flagshipClientSecret: the Flagship API Client ID needed for the codebase analyzer to communicate Flag references to Flagship. Remote Control API for more details.
• environmentId: the Flagship environment ID needed for the codebase analyzer to communicate Flag references to Flagship. You can get the environment ID in the platform on Settings -> API Key & Settings
• accountId: the Flagship account ID needed for the codebase analyzer to communicate Flag references to Flagship. You can get the environment ID in the platform on Settings -> Account

You can set up additional parameters to the Action to customize further your integration. See Github Repository for more details.
