Usage notes¶

The snow git setup command prompts for the following information:

  • URL: address of repository to use for git clone operation.

  • Secret: Snowflake secret containing authentication credentials. Not needed if origin repository does not require authentication for read-only operations, such as clone and fetch.

  • API integration: object allowing Snowflake to interact with a Git repository.

If the role or user specified in your connection has not been granted, executing this command generates an error similar to the following:

003001 (42501): 01b2f095-0508-c66d-0001-c1be009a66ee: SQL access control error: Insufficient privileges to operate on account XXX

In this situation, you should check your connection configuration or ask your account administrator to give you the necessary privileges or to create the integration for you. For more information, see Create an API integration for interacting with the repository API.

Examples¶

  • Create a repository that requires a secret and credentials:

    $ snow git setup snowcli_git
Origin url: https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowflake-cli.git
Use secret for authentication? [y/N]: y
Secret identifier (will be created if not exists) [snowcli_git_secret]: new_secret
Secret 'new_secret' will be created
username: john_doe
password/token: ****
API integration identifier (will be created if not exists) [snowcli_git_api_integration]:
    Copy
    Secret 'new_secret' successfully created.
API integration snowcli_git_api_integration successfully created.
+------------------------------------------------------+
| status                                               |
|------------------------------------------------------|
| Git Repository SNOWCLI_GIT was successfully created. |
+------------------------------------------------------+

  • Create a repository without a secret and an existing API integration ID:

    $ snow git setup snowcli_git
Origin url: https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowflake-cli.git
Use secret for authentication [y/N]: n
API integration identifier (will be created if not exists) [snowcli_git_api_integration]: EXISTING_INTEGRATION
    Copy
    Using existing API integration 'EXISTING_INTEGRATION'.
