gitlab - Push to a repository using access_token
It is also possible to push directly without adding a new remote repository:
git push https://gitlab-ci-token:<access_token>@gitlab.com/myuser/myrepo.git <branch_name>
This could be especially handy if you would like pull & push to different repositories.
You should do
git remote add origin https://<access-token-name>:<access-token>@gitlab.com/myuser/myrepo.git
Note that this stores the access token as plain text in the .git\config
file. To avoid this you can use the git credential system, providing the access token name for "username" and the access token for "password". This should store the credentials in the git credential system in a more secure way.
