Spring 5.0 By Example

Using GitHub as a repository

The Spring Cloud Config Server enables us to use different datastore technologies to work as a properties repository. There are some options such as Git repository, filesystem, or SVN and others, provided by the community.

We will choose the Git repository, and use GitHub as a host. 

We will use the Git repository that has the source code of the book. The repository is located at: https://GitHub.com/PacktPublishing/Spring-5.0-By-Example/tree/master/config-files.The Spring Cloud Config Server also supports private repositories. For that purpose, we need to supply the private/public keys.
