Choose your connection method

When connecting your ToolJet application to a Git repository, you have two connection methods to choose from: SSH and HTTPS. Each method has its own advantages and considerations that might make one more suitable for your company.

The table below provides a comparison between SSH and HTTPS connection methods to help you decide which one is best for your needs:

Feature	HTTPS	SSH
Connection type	Individual git connection (Currently we only support GitHub and GitLab)	Single connection which work for any git provider ( Example: GitHub, Gitea, GitLab, etc. )
Port Blocking	No port blocking issues	May face port blocking due to firewall issues
Branch Configuration	Can be configured directly from the ToolJet UI	Must be configured using environment variables
Default Branch	main	master
Require Github App	Yes	No

ToolJet allows you to set up multiple Git repository configurations. However, only one configuration can be active at any given time for a workspace. When switching between configurations, the previously active configuration will be automatically deactivated.

Choose the connection method that best aligns with your security requirements, network environment, and preferred way of managing your ToolJet applications with Git.
