TFS 2015 When creating a new External Git Repository Endpoint, should you use the build server service account?

Question

I'm trying to setup an External Git Endpoint for out TFS 2015 update 4 system. I can't find any documentation on the correct way to set this up. What user name and password should I use? The build server service account?

Answer 1

It has nothing to do with the build service account if you mean creating a service connection (External Git service connection here).

For External Git service connection

• The username should be the one which can connect to the external Git repository server.
• And the Password/Token Key should be the password or access token for the specified username.
