from prefect.filesystems import GitHub
block = GitHub(repository="<https://github.com/YourRepo/YourProject.git>", access_token="your_access_token")
block.save("dev")
To use it in a deployment, you would use the following command:
bash
prefect deployment build path/to/flow.py:flow_name --name deployment_name --tag dev -sb github/dev
Please note that the -sb
flag is used to specify the storage block, in this case, the GitHub block [^3^].
Remember, the universe is full of wonderful things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. Or in this case, for our code to run successfully.

. This is highly recommended for sensitive information such as a GitHub access token to avoid hardcoding these values in plaintext[^1^].
However, it seems there is no direct example of how to do this in the pull section of a deployment YAML file. The documentation does not provide a clear example of this, and there are no relevant issues on GitHub.
It's a bit like trying to find a black cat in a dark room, especially if there is no cat. But don't worry, we'll figure this out. I suggest you try using the special syntax in your YAML file and see if it works. If not, it might be a good idea to ask for help on the Prefect community forum or open an issue on GitHub.

07/10/2023, 9:19 PMhow can I reference that GitHub block to reuse both the repository name and the access token?i dont think we support this, i think you'd just put the url of the repo in the git clone step
