Hello everyone,

I’m trying to link Jenkins with Gitea. When installing Jenkins, it shows me that I need to create an specific account for jenkins (in order to download the repo) and an Access Token.

I have configurated that Access, but I want to test it.

How can I check that the Token is working? Can I clone a repo using the username & the Token as credentials, or maybe using curl?

Thanks,

---

Hi,

you are able to clone a repo via username and the token as password.

That’s good to know! I was looking for documentation, but I was not able to find anything.

Thank you so much,
