[github] Authenticate with GitHub using a token

By having struggling so many hours on applying GitHub token finally it works as below:

$ cf_export GITHUB_TOKEN=$(codefresh get context github --decrypt -o yaml | yq -y .spec.data.auth.password)

  • code follows Codefresh guidance on cloning a repo using token (freestyle}
  • test carried: sed %d%H%M on match word '-123456-whatever'
  • push back to the repo (which is private repo)
  • triggered by DockerHub webhooks

Following is the complete code:

version: '1.0'
steps:
  get_git_token:
    title: Reading Github token
    image: codefresh/cli
    commands:
      - cf_export GITHUB_TOKEN=$(codefresh get context github --decrypt -o yaml | yq -y .spec.data.auth.password)
  main_clone:
    title: Updating the repo
    image: alpine/git:latest
    commands:
      - git clone https://chetabahana:[email protected]/chetabahana/compose.git
      - cd compose && git remote rm origin
      - git config --global user.name "chetabahana"
      - git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
      - git remote add origin https://chetabahana:[email protected]/chetabahana/compose.git
      - sed -i "s/-[0-9]\{1,\}-\([a-zA-Z0-9_]*\)'/-`date +%d%H%M`-whatever'/g" cloudbuild.yaml
      - git status && git add . && git commit -m "fresh commit" && git push -u origin master

Output...
