Reasoning Complete! šŸ¤– šŸ” Searched knowledge base: I'll look up examples and best practices for running a git checkout in a container task and securely managing secrets for private repositories. • Searching over 10 data sources from the following: File, Github File, Github Issue, Web • Found 60 documents that could be relevant from the following data sources: Github File, Github Issue, Github Pull Request. • Filtered down to the top 30 most relevant documents. āœļø Generated answer: I have gathered enough information to provide a clear example and explanation of how to run a git checkout in a Flyte ContainerTask and securely manage secrets for a private git repository.
It seems likely that you can create a Flyte
ContainerTask
that runs a
git checkout
before executing your main command, and you can manage secrets for a private git repo by injecting credentials as secrets. You would define a Kubernetes secret containing your git credentials (e.g., SSH key or personal access token), then request this secret in your
ContainerTask
and mount it as an environment variable or file, making it accessible to the git command. The secret is referenced in the
secret_requests
argument, and Flyte will inject it into the container at runtime. For example, you might use a secret named
git-creds
with a key
ssh_key
and mount it as a file, then configure your git command to use this key. Here is a conceptual example (note: the exact syntax for
ContainerTask
secret mounting is not fully detailed in the data sources, but the approach is supported for Python tasks and should be similar for
ContainerTask
):
Copy code
from flytekit import Secret, ContainerTask

git_checkout_task = ContainerTask(
    name="git_checkout_task",
    image="ubuntu:20.04",
    command=["/bin/bash", "-c"],
    args=[
        """
        mkdir -p ~/.ssh && \
        echo "$GIT_SSH_KEY" > ~/.ssh/id_rsa && \
        chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa && \
        git clone git@github.com:yourorg/yourrepo.git && \
        cd yourrepo && \
        <your-command-here>
        """
    ],
    secret_requests=[
        Secret(group="git-creds", key="ssh_key", mount_requirement=Secret.MountType.ENV_VAR)
    ],
)
You would create the secret in Kubernetes with:
Copy code
kubectl create secret generic git-creds --from-literal=ssh_key='<your-private-key>' -n <namespace>
This approach is based on the secret management documentation and examples for Python tasks, which also apply to container-based tasks as of recent Flyte versions. For more details, see the Flyte secrets documentation and related issues. Would you like more detail or a more specific example for your use case?
