###Setting up a Google Cloud Git Repo // now with SourceTree bonus!
*Note: this guide is relavent only to repos natively hosted on Google Cloud

---

**Prereq:** - OSX - SourceTree - git - A Google App Engine / Cloud project

---

###Admin Setup: **Set up an App Engine Git Repo** - read this: https://developers.google.com/cloud/devtools/repo/push-to-deploy

Git Init

$ my-mbpro: cd ~/path/projectDirectory
$ my-mbpro: git init

Grab the Repo Url

• https://console.developers.google.com/project/
• left column > source code > browse

Set up SourceTree

• create repo
• menu: file > new/ clone > add working copy
• enter path + name > ok
• once added, open the repo via view > show bookmarks > click repo name
• make your first commit
  then...
• push repo
• menu: repository settings > remotes
• enter repo name + path (your repo url)
• click dropdown > select unknown
• add the google account email of for the project > ok
  (if prompted for a google password here, good. If not, click push to push the branch up - you will be prompted during this)

#####Your next step is based on your account security setup, follow the one that applies:

• I Have 2-Factor Authentication Enabled:
  • https://console.developers.google.com
  • left panel > source code > releases
  • click the link "Configure your repository" in the first paragraph
  • in the second sentence, click the little help icon w/ a ?
  • click the link "generate your git credentials"
  • Create a file called .netrc in your home directory (~/.netrc).
  • Unfortunately, the syntax requires you to store your passwords in plain text, so make sure you modify the file permissions to make it readable only to you.
  • add the below credentials to your file .netrc file & paste in the provided name & pass

machine source.developers.google.com
login googleUsername
password yourPassword

And that's it! Subsequent git clone, git pull and git push requests will now be authenticated using the credentials specified in this file. - Add to SourceTree - menu: file > repository > push > tick master > ok - when prompted, paste token in the password field

• I Don't Have 2-Factor Authentication Enabled:
  • Generate an application specific password
    • https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords
  • Add to SourceTree
    • menu: file > repository > push > tick master > ok
    • when prompted, paste password

---

###Client Setup:

Grab the Repo Url

• https://console.developers.google.com/project/
• left column > source code > browse

Set up SourceTree

• menu: file > new/ clone > clone repository
• add the repo url > click once in the bookmark field
• add user name / pass (same authentication method as described above)
• choose destination / repo name > ok

Hello. I am trying to set up SourceTree and am having an issue.
I am trying to follow the "I Don't Have 2-Factor Authentication Enabled" and I am not seeing the path to add my app password to Source Tree (menu: file > repository > push > tick master > ok)
Am I missing something, or did SourceTree update and this has been re/moved?
Thank you.

@nick-botner it should prompt you for a pass, but if not there is another way.

• menu: Repository > Repository Settings
• add or edit (depending on what you've already put in)
  • Remote name: origin
  • URL / path: https://source.developers.google.com/p/your-appspot-app/
  • host type doesn't matter
• Click OK
• try to push again and see if you get prompted
• if not, just trash the repo and try it again from scratch

if this doesn't work, they may force 2 factor auth on us now - give it a try and let me know

Thanks for this walk-through!
I am also trying to use SourceTree on a Google Cloud Source Repo, but I get stuck when I try to access the left panel > source code > releases menu. It is not present in my developers console, I only have left panel > source code > browse.
Is this because I skipped the push-to-deploy step? I read the page you link to, but did not do what is described there, because I don't want the complexity of Jenkins/Maven/Gradle and all the other stuff.

In 2021 so much has changed that I can't do anything but add the project and hope that you will update this...

Some of the things mentioned in this tutorial are now redundant. So this is not working.
