Is there a possibility to have other Git repo integration e.g. Bitbucket, GitLab - not GitHub?

Artem Fursenko Unfortunately, at this moment we don't have any official integrations with Bitbucket or Gitlab.There might be 3rd party integrations available (via Zapier, for example), but I won't be able to provide detailed information about it. I'd recommend following up our announcement page in case if there are any news regarding this: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/categories/4405298749210-Zendesk-updates

Hi. Do you have to use Zendesk to preview the output or is there a way of locally checking the changes?

thanks

Hi Andrew Mantle

You can work with theme locally using Zendesk app tools (ZAT).

Hello,

Can you keep help center articles in code in a repo and sync them to Zendesk on a git push?

Thanks.

Hi Tim,
 
As it turns out, the option for git push is not supported. I also took the liberty of checking our Marketplace for similar integration but there's none. The only available option when it comes to creating articles if you have your own repository is through Help Center API.

Hi Zendesk, 

Is it possible to add a private repo to the GH integration? If not, are there any updates on future integrations like BitBucket? I couldn't find any help articles related to those topics. Thank you.

Hi Brandon! Private repos are absolutely fine, as long as the person who is setting up the integration has access to that repo. If you run into any issues while setting this up, take a look at our troubleshooting guide. Regarding BitBucket, we do not have any integrations set up with them at this time.

Hi there,
 
The article mentions that the Github integration does not support Github Enterprise? Does this include Github Enterprise Cloud?
 
Do you have any advice on how to manage change conflicts with the core theme files when trying to merge updates? Has the theme been designed in a way that helps avoid merge conflicts? 
 
Thanks!

Hello Simon,
 
Thanks for reaching out to us! My name is Clifford from the Advocacy department and I'll be the one assisting you with your concern. :) 
 
In regard to your concern with Github Enterprise Cloud, I have reached out internally to our Github team so I will be providing you an update once I confirmed with them.
 
For the 2nd one, may you please elaborate on managing change conflicts? Can you provide a use case for this?
 
I look forward to your response!

Hi @... ,

In regards to managing change conflicts, we plan to copy the Zendesk Copenhagen theme repo rather than fork it, that way we can create our own forks privately. From there, we can pull updates from the main repo and marge them with our private fork. Github helps manage change conflict but we wanted to know how Zendesk might help prevent conflicts when updating the theme files?

Hi Simon - at this time, Zendesk does not provides any specific change conflict management for the individual use of ZD Guide themes. It is ultimately up to individual users to ensure that when making a copy of the theme repo, that updates pulled from main merge into the their copied environment.

Is there a possibility to sync with GitLab instead of GitHub? I know it snot possible currently but is the integration with gitlab in the roadmap?

Adeem Basraa A Gitlab integration is not on the roadmap currently, but you could set up your own integration using the Themes API.

It's been 18 months since the last ask to sync with GitLab, so I'll add my +1. Rather than hooking up a custom integration, I would love to see it natively supported.

Hi,

I am confused about the authorization request.
I add the target repo so that ZD can pull the updated repo content from GH.
Why am I being asked to authorize ZD Guide app for full read/write permissions on all private and public repositories?
I had to decline. Can you review this?
