# Configure Git credentials

git configuration requires "User Name" and "Access Token". The exact steps of creating the access token depends on the git cloud that is used.

## Creating Personal Access Token

* Depending on the git cloud used, follow the instructions to generate a personal access token.
* Set the "User Name" in Lineaje configuration.
* Add the newly generated token as "Access Token" in Lineaje configuration.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.veedna.com/continuous-vulnerability-elimination-factory-cvef/sbom360/generate-an-sbom/source-code-management-scm-as-source/private-code-repositories/configure-git-credentials.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
