Open Source Extras GitifyWatch Repository Setup

Your git repository is ideally in the root of the MODX site. For GitifyWatch to work, it needs to be able of committing and pushing without any interaction like filling in passwords, so you’ll likely want to set up Deploy Keys for authentication, without a passphrase.

One way to do it is to set up your origin remote with the format mycustomhost:organisation/repository.git, and the following in your .ssh/config file:

Host mycustomhost
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/my_deploy_key
  User git
  HostName github.com
  

That way you can be very specific about which key file to use for that particular SSH connection.
