## [2.2.0] - 2025-12-21
### 🚀 Private Config Repositories - Team Collaboration Unlocked
This major release adds **git-based config sources**, enabling teams to fetch configs from private/team repositories in addition to the public API. This unlocks team collaboration, enterprise deployment, and custom config collections.
### 🎯 Major Features
#### Git-Based Config Sources (Issue [#211](https://github.com/yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers/issues/211))
- **Multi-source config management** - Fetch from API, git URL, or named sources
- **Private repository support** - GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, and custom git servers
- **Team collaboration** - Share configs across 3-5 person teams with version control
- **Enterprise scale** - Support 500+ developers with priority-based resolution
- **Secure authentication** - Environment variable tokens only (GITHUB_TOKEN, GITLAB_TOKEN, etc.)
- **Intelligent caching** - Shallow clone (10-50x faster), auto-pull updates
- **Offline mode** - Works with cached repos when offline
- **Backward compatible** - Existing API-based configs work unchanged
#### New MCP Tools
- **`add_config_source`** - Register git repositories as config sources
- Auto-detects source type (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)
- Auto-selects token environment variable
- Priority-based resolution for multiple sources
- SSH URL support (auto-converts to HTTPS + token)
- **`list_config_sources`** - View all registered sources
- Shows git URL, branch, priority, token env
- Filter by enabled/disabled status
- Sorted by priority (lower = higher priority)
- **`remove_config_source`** - Unregister sources
- Removes from registry (cache preserved for offline use)
- Helpful error messages with available sources
- **Enhanced `fetch_config`** - Three modes
1. **Named source mode** - `fetch_config(source="team", config_name="react-custom")`
2. **Git URL mode** - `fetch_config(git_url="https://...", config_name="react-custom")`
3. **API mode** - `fetch_config(config_name="react")` (unchanged)
### Added
#### Core Infrastructure
- **GitConfigRepo class** (`src/skill_seekers/mcp/git_repo.py`, 283 lines)
- `clone_or_pull()` - Shallow clone with auto-pull and force refresh
- `find_configs()` - Recursive *.json discovery (excludes .git)
- `get_config()` - Load config with case-insensitive matching
- `inject_token()` - Convert SSH to HTTPS with token authentication
- `validate_git_url()` - Support HTTPS, SSH, and file:// URLs
- Comprehensive error handling (auth failures, missing repos, corrupted caches)
- **SourceManager class** (`src/skill_seekers/mcp/source_manager.py`, 260 lines)
- `add_source()` - Register/update sources with validation
- `get_source()` - Retrieve by name with helpful errors
- `list_sources()` - List all/enabled sources sorted by priority
- `remove_source()` - Unregister sources
- `update_source()` - Modify specific fields
- Atomic file I/O (write to temp, then rename)
- Auto-detect token env vars from source type
#### Storage & Caching
- **Registry file**: `~/.skill-seekers/sources.json`
- Stores source metadata (URL, branch, priority, timestamps)
- Version-controlled schema (v1.0)
- Atomic writes prevent corruption
- **Cache directory**: `$SKILL_SEEKERS_CACHE_DIR` (default: `~/.skill-seekers/cache/`)
- One subdirectory per source
- Shallow git clones (depth=1, single-branch)
- Configurable via environment variable
#### Documentation
- **docs/GIT_CONFIG_SOURCES.md** (800+ lines) - Comprehensive guide
- Quick start, architecture, authentication
- MCP tools reference with examples
- Use cases (small teams, enterprise, open source)
- Best practices, troubleshooting, advanced topics
- Complete API reference
- **configs/example-team/** - Example repository for testing
- `react-custom.json` - Custom React config with metadata
- `vue-internal.json` - Internal Vue config
- `company-api.json` - Company API config example
- `README.md` - Usage guide and best practices

### Testing
- **83 new tests** (100% passing)
- `tests/test_git_repo.py` (35 tests) - GitConfigRepo functionality
- Initialization, URL validation, token injection
- Clone/pull operations, config discovery, error handling
- `tests/test_source_manager.py` (48 tests) - SourceManager functionality
- Add/get/list/remove/update sources
- Registry persistence, atomic writes, default token env
- `tests/test_mcp_git_sources.py` (18 tests) - MCP integration
- All 3 fetch modes (API, Git URL, Named Source)
- Source management tools (add/list/remove)
- Complete workflow (add → fetch → remove)
- Error scenarios (auth failures, missing configs)
### Improved
- **MCP server** - Now supports 12 tools (up from 9)
- Maintains backward compatibility
- Enhanced error messages with available sources
- Priority-based config resolution
### Use Cases
**Small Teams (3-5 people):**
```bash
# One-time setup
add_config_source(name="team", git_url="https://github.com/myteam/configs.git")
# Daily usage
fetch_config(source="team", config_name="react-internal")
```
**Enterprise (500+ developers):**
```bash
# IT pre-configures sources
add_config_source(name="platform", ..., priority=1)
add_config_source(name="mobile", ..., priority=2)
# Developers use transparently
fetch_config(config_name="platform-api") # Finds in platform source
```
**Example Repository:**
```bash
cd /path/to/Skill_Seekers
python3 configs/example-team/test_e2e.py # Test E2E workflow
```
### Backward Compatibility
- ✅ All existing configs work unchanged
- ✅ API mode still default (no registration needed)
- ✅ No breaking changes to MCP tools or CLI
- ✅ New parameters are optional (git_url, source, refresh)
### Security
- ✅ Tokens via environment variables only (not in files)
- ✅ Shallow clones minimize attack surface
- ✅ No token storage in registry file
- ✅ Secure token injection (auto-converts SSH to HTTPS)
### Performance
- ✅ Shallow clone: 10-50x faster than full clone
- ✅ Minimal disk space (no git history)
- ✅ Auto-pull: Only fetches changes (not full re-clone)
- ✅ Offline mode: Works with cached repos
### Files Changed
- Modified (2): `pyproject.toml`, `src/skill_seekers/mcp/server.py`
- Added (6): 3 source files + 3 test files + 1 doc + 1 example repo
- Total lines added: ~2,600
### Migration Guide
No migration needed! This is purely additive:
```python
# Before v2.2.0 (still works)
fetch_config(config_name="react")
# New in v2.2.0 (optional)
add_config_source(name="team", git_url="...")
fetch_config(source="team", config_name="react-custom")
```
### Known Limitations
- MCP async tests require pytest-asyncio (added to dev dependencies)
- Example repository uses 'master' branch (git init default)

### Private Config Repositories (**NEW - v2.2.0**)
**The Problem:** Teams need to share custom configs for internal documentation, but don't want to publish them publicly.
**The Solution:** Register private git repositories as config sources. Fetch configs from team repos just like the public API, with full authentication support.
```bash
# Setup: Set your GitHub token (one-time)
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_here
# Option 1: Using MCP tools (recommended)
# Register your team's private repo
add_config_source(
name="team",
git_url="https://github.com/mycompany/skill-configs.git",
token_env="GITHUB_TOKEN"
)
# Fetch config from team repo
fetch_config(source="team", config_name="internal-api")
# List all registered sources
list_config_sources()
# Remove source when no longer needed
remove_config_source(name="team")
```
**Direct Git URL mode** (no registration):
```bash
# Fetch directly from git URL
fetch_config(
git_url="https://github.com/mycompany/configs.git",
config_name="react-custom",
token="ghp_your_token_here"
)
```
**Supported Platforms:**
- GitHub (token env: `GITHUB_TOKEN`)
- GitLab (token env: `GITLAB_TOKEN`)
- Gitea (token env: `GITEA_TOKEN`)
- Bitbucket (token env: `BITBUCKET_TOKEN`)
- Any git server (token env: `GIT_TOKEN`)
**Use Cases:**
📋 **Small Teams (3-5 people)**
```bash
# Team lead creates repo
gh repo create myteam/skill-configs --private
# Add configs to repo
cd myteam-skill-configs
cp ../Skill_Seekers/configs/react.json ./react-custom.json
# Edit selectors, categories for your internal docs...
git add . && git commit -m "Add custom React config" && git push
# Team members register (one-time)
add_config_source(name="team", git_url="https://github.com/myteam/skill-configs.git")
# Everyone can now fetch
fetch_config(source="team", config_name="react-custom")
```
🏢 **Enterprise (500+ developers)**
```bash
# IT pre-configures sources for everyone
add_config_source(name="platform", git_url="gitlab.company.com/platform/configs", priority=1)
add_config_source(name="mobile", git_url="gitlab.company.com/mobile/configs", priority=2)
add_config_source(name="official", git_url="api.skillseekersweb.com", priority=3)
# Developers use transparently
fetch_config(config_name="internal-platform") # Finds in platform source
fetch_config(config_name="react") # Falls back to official API
```
**Storage Locations:**
- Registry: `~/.skill-seekers/sources.json`
- Cache: `$SKILL_SEEKERS_CACHE_DIR` (default: `~/.skill-seekers/cache/`)
**Features:**
-**Shallow clone** - 10-50x faster, minimal disk space
-**Auto-pull** - Fetches latest changes automatically
-**Offline mode** - Works with cached repos when offline
-**Priority resolution** - Multiple sources with conflict resolution
-**Secure** - Tokens via environment variables only
**Example Team Repository:**
Try the included example:
```bash
# Test with file:// URL (no auth needed)
cd /path/to/Skill_Seekers
# Run the E2E test
python3 configs/example-team/test_e2e.py
# Or test manually
add_config_source(
name="example",
git_url="file://$(pwd)/configs/example-team",
branch="master"
)
fetch_config(source="example", config_name="react-custom")
```
**Full Guide:** See [docs/GIT_CONFIG_SOURCES.md](docs/GIT_CONFIG_SOURCES.md) for complete documentation.

# Example Team Config Repository
This is an **example config repository** demonstrating how teams can share custom configs via git.
## Purpose
This repository shows how to:
- Structure a custom config repository
- Share team-specific documentation configs
- Use git-based config sources with Skill Seekers
## Structure
```
example-team/
├── README.md # This file
├── react-custom.json # Custom React config (modified selectors)
├── vue-internal.json # Internal Vue docs config
└── company-api.json # Company API documentation config
```
## Usage with Skill Seekers
### Option 1: Use this repo directly (for testing)
```python
# Using MCP tools (recommended)
add_config_source(
name="example-team",
git_url="file:///path/to/Skill_Seekers/configs/example-team"
)
fetch_config(source="example-team", config_name="react-custom")
```
### Option 2: Create your own team repo
```bash
# 1. Create new repo
mkdir my-team-configs
cd my-team-configs
git init
# 2. Add configs
cp /path/to/configs/react.json ./react-custom.json
# Edit configs as needed...
# 3. Commit and push
git add .
git commit -m "Initial team configs"
git remote add origin https://github.com/myorg/team-configs.git
git push -u origin main
# 4. Register with Skill Seekers
add_config_source(
name="team",
git_url="https://github.com/myorg/team-configs.git",
token_env="GITHUB_TOKEN"
)
# 5. Use it
fetch_config(source="team", config_name="react-custom")
```
## Config Naming Best Practices
- Use descriptive names: `react-custom.json`, `vue-internal.json`
- Avoid name conflicts with official configs
- Include version if needed: `api-v2.json`
- Group by category: `frontend/`, `backend/`, `mobile/`
## Private Repositories
For private repos, set the appropriate token environment variable:
```bash
# GitHub
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxx
# GitLab
export GITLAB_TOKEN=glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxxx
# Bitbucket
export BITBUCKET_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxx
```
Then register the source:
```python
add_config_source(
name="private-team",
git_url="https://github.com/myorg/private-configs.git",
source_type="github",
token_env="GITHUB_TOKEN"
)
```
## Testing This Example
```bash
# From Skill_Seekers root directory
cd /mnt/1ece809a-2821-4f10-aecb-fcdf34760c0b/Git/Skill_Seekers
# Test with file:// URL (no auth needed)
python3 -c "
from skill_seekers.mcp.source_manager import SourceManager
from skill_seekers.mcp.git_repo import GitConfigRepo
# Add source
sm = SourceManager()
sm.add_source(
name='example-team',
git_url='file://$(pwd)/configs/example-team',
branch='main'
)
# Clone and fetch config
gr = GitConfigRepo()
repo_path = gr.clone_or_pull('example-team', 'file://$(pwd)/configs/example-team')
config = gr.get_config(repo_path, 'react-custom')
print(f'✅ Loaded config: {config[\"name\"]}')
"
```
## Contributing
This is just an example! Create your own team repo with:
- Your team's custom selectors
- Internal documentation configs
- Company-specific configurations

# Git-Based Config Sources - Complete Guide
**Version:** v2.2.0
**Feature:** A1.9 - Multi-Source Git Repository Support
**Last Updated:** December 21, 2025

## Overview
### What is this feature?
Git-based config sources allow you to fetch config files from **private/team git repositories** in addition to the public API. This unlocks:
- 🔐 **Private configs** - Company/internal documentation
- 👥 **Team collaboration** - Share configs across 3-5 person teams
- 🏢 **Enterprise scale** - Support 500+ developers
- 📦 **Custom collections** - Curated config repositories
- 🌐 **Decentralized** - Like npm (public + private registries)
### How it works
```
User → fetch_config(source="team", config_name="react-custom")
SourceManager (~/.skill-seekers/sources.json)
GitConfigRepo (clone/pull with GitPython)
Local cache (~/.skill-seekers/cache/team/)
Config JSON returned
```
### Three modes
1. **API Mode** (existing, unchanged)
- `fetch_config(config_name="react")`
- Fetches from api.skillseekersweb.com
2. **Source Mode** (NEW - recommended)
- `fetch_config(source="team", config_name="react-custom")`
- Uses registered git source
3. **Git URL Mode** (NEW - one-time)
- `fetch_config(git_url="https://...", config_name="react-custom")`
- Direct clone without registration
---
## Quick Start
### 1. Set up authentication
```bash
# GitHub
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_here
# GitLab
export GITLAB_TOKEN=glpat_your_token_here
# Bitbucket
export BITBUCKET_TOKEN=your_token_here
```
### 2. Register a source
Using MCP tools (recommended):
```python
add_config_source(
name="team",
git_url="https://github.com/mycompany/skill-configs.git",
source_type="github", # Optional, auto-detected
token_env="GITHUB_TOKEN", # Optional, auto-detected
branch="main", # Optional, default: "main"
priority=100 # Optional, lower = higher priority
)
```
### 3. Fetch configs
```python
# From registered source
fetch_config(source="team", config_name="react-custom")
# List available sources
list_config_sources()
# Remove when done
remove_config_source(name="team")
```
### 4. Quick test with example repository
```bash
cd /path/to/Skill_Seekers
# Run E2E test
python3 configs/example-team/test_e2e.py
# Or test manually
add_config_source(
name="example",
git_url="file://$(pwd)/configs/example-team",
branch="master"
)
fetch_config(source="example", config_name="react-custom")
```
---
## Architecture
### Storage Locations
**Sources Registry:**
```
~/.skill-seekers/sources.json
```
Example content:
```json
{
"version": "1.0",
"sources": [
{
"name": "team",
"git_url": "https://github.com/myorg/configs.git",
"type": "github",
"token_env": "GITHUB_TOKEN",
"branch": "main",
"enabled": true,
"priority": 1,
"added_at": "2025-12-21T10:00:00Z",
"updated_at": "2025-12-21T10:00:00Z"
}
]
}
```
**Cache Directory:**
```
$SKILL_SEEKERS_CACHE_DIR (default: ~/.skill-seekers/cache/)
```
Structure:
```
~/.skill-seekers/
├── sources.json # Source registry
└── cache/ # Git clones
├── team/ # One directory per source
│ ├── .git/
│ ├── react-custom.json
│ └── vue-internal.json
└── company/
├── .git/
└── internal-api.json
```
### Git Strategy
- **Shallow clone**: `git clone --depth 1 --single-branch`
- 10-50x faster
- Minimal disk space
- No history, just latest commit
- **Auto-pull**: Updates cache automatically
- Checks for changes on each fetch
- Use `refresh=true` to force re-clone
- **Config discovery**: Recursively scans for `*.json` files
- No hardcoded paths
- Flexible repository structure
- Excludes `.git` directory

name="company",
git_url="https://gitlab.company.com/platform/configs.git",
source_type="gitlab",
token_env="GITLAB_COMPANY_TOKEN",
branch="develop",
priority=1,
enabled=true
)
# SSH URL (auto-converts to HTTPS with token)
add_config_source(
name="team",
git_url="git@github.com:myorg/configs.git",
token_env="GITHUB_TOKEN"
)
```
### list_config_sources
List all registered config sources.
**Parameters:**
- `enabled_only` (optional): Only show enabled sources (default: false)
**Returns:**
- List of sources sorted by priority
**Example:**
```python
# List all sources
list_config_sources()
# List only enabled sources
list_config_sources(enabled_only=true)
```
**Output:**

📁 https://gitlab.company.com/configs.git
🔖 Type: gitlab | 🌿 Branch: develop
🔑 Token: GITLAB_TOKEN | ⚡ Priority: 2
🕒 Added: 2025-12-21 11:00:00
```
### remove_config_source
Remove a registered config source.
**Parameters:**
- `name` (required): Source identifier
**Returns:**
- Success/failure message
**Note:** Does NOT delete cached git repository data. To free disk space, manually delete `~/.skill-seekers/cache/{source_name}/`
**Example:**
```python
remove_config_source(name="team")
```
### fetch_config
Fetch config from API, git URL, or named source.
**Mode 1: Named Source (highest priority)**
```python
fetch_config(
source="team", # Use registered source
config_name="react-custom",
destination="configs/", # Optional
branch="main", # Optional, overrides source default
refresh=false # Optional, force re-clone
)
```
**Mode 2: Direct Git URL**
```python
fetch_config(
git_url="https://github.com/myorg/configs.git",
config_name="react-custom",
branch="main", # Optional
token="ghp_token", # Optional, prefer env vars
destination="configs/", # Optional
refresh=false # Optional
)
```
**Mode 3: API (existing, unchanged)**
```python
fetch_config(
config_name="react",
destination="configs/" # Optional
)
# Or list available
fetch_config(list_available=true)
```
---
## Authentication
### Environment Variables Only
Tokens are **ONLY** stored in environment variables. This is:
-**Secure** - Not in files, not in git
-**Standard** - Same as GitHub CLI, Docker, etc.
-**Temporary** - Cleared on logout
-**Flexible** - Different tokens for different services
### Creating Tokens
**GitHub:**
1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
2. Generate new token (classic)
3. Select scopes: `repo` (for private repos)
4. Copy token: `ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxx`
5. Export: `export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxx`
**GitLab:**
1. Go to https://gitlab.com/-/profile/personal_access_tokens
2. Create token with `read_repository` scope
3. Copy token: `glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxxx`
4. Export: `export GITLAB_TOKEN=glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxxx`
**Bitbucket:**
1. Go to https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/app-passwords/
2. Create app password with `Repositories: Read` permission
3. Copy password
4. Export: `export BITBUCKET_TOKEN=your_password`
### Persistent Tokens
Add to your shell profile (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, etc.):
```bash
# GitHub token
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxx
# GitLab token
export GITLAB_TOKEN=glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxxx
# Company GitLab (separate token)
export GITLAB_COMPANY_TOKEN=glpat-yyyyyyyyyyyyy
```
Then: `source ~/.bashrc`
### Token Injection
GitConfigRepo automatically:
1. Converts SSH URLs to HTTPS
2. Injects token into URL
3. Uses token for authentication
**Example:**
- Input: `git@github.com:myorg/repo.git` + token `ghp_xxx`
- Output: `https://ghp_xxx@github.com/myorg/repo.git`

## Use Cases
### Small Team (3-5 people)
**Scenario:** Frontend team needs custom React configs for internal docs.
**Setup:**
```bash
# 1. Team lead creates repo
gh repo create myteam/skill-configs --private
# 2. Add configs
cd myteam-skill-configs
cp ../Skill_Seekers/configs/react.json ./react-internal.json
# Edit for internal docs:
# - Change base_url to internal docs site
# - Adjust selectors for company theme
# - Customize categories
git add . && git commit -m "Add internal React config" && git push
# 3. Team members register (one-time)
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_their_token
add_config_source(
name="team",
git_url="https://github.com/myteam/skill-configs.git"
)
# 4. Daily usage
fetch_config(source="team", config_name="react-internal")
```
**Benefits:**
- ✅ Shared configs across team
- ✅ Version controlled
- ✅ Private to company
- ✅ Easy updates (git push)
### Enterprise (500+ developers)
**Scenario:** Large company with multiple teams, internal docs, and priority-based config resolution.
**Setup:**
```bash
# IT pre-configures sources for all developers
# (via company setup script or documentation)
# 1. Platform team configs (highest priority)
add_config_source(
name="platform",
git_url="https://gitlab.company.com/platform/skill-configs.git",
source_type="gitlab",
token_env="GITLAB_COMPANY_TOKEN",
priority=1
)
# 2. Mobile team configs
add_config_source(
name="mobile",
git_url="https://gitlab.company.com/mobile/skill-configs.git",
source_type="gitlab",
token_env="GITLAB_COMPANY_TOKEN",
priority=2
)
# 3. Public/official configs (fallback)
# (API mode, no registration needed, lowest priority)
```
**Developer usage:**
```python
# Automatically finds config with highest priority
fetch_config(config_name="platform-api") # Found in platform source
fetch_config(config_name="react-native") # Found in mobile source
fetch_config(config_name="react") # Falls back to public API
```
**Benefits:**
- ✅ Centralized config management
- ✅ Team-specific overrides
- ✅ Fallback to public configs
- ✅ Priority-based resolution
- ✅ Scales to hundreds of developers
### Open Source Project
**Scenario:** Open source project wants curated configs for contributors.
**Setup:**
```bash
# 1. Create public repo
gh repo create myproject/skill-configs --public
# 2. Add configs for project stack
- react.json (frontend)
- django.json (backend)
- postgres.json (database)
- nginx.json (deployment)
# 3. Contributors use directly (no token needed for public repos)
add_config_source(
name="myproject",
git_url="https://github.com/myproject/skill-configs.git"
)
fetch_config(source="myproject", config_name="react")
```
**Benefits:**
- ✅ Curated configs for project
- ✅ No API dependency
- ✅ Community contributions via PR
- ✅ Version controlled

## Best Practices
### Config Naming
**Good:**
- `react-internal.json` - Clear purpose
- `api-v2.json` - Version included
- `platform-auth.json` - Specific topic
**Bad:**
- `config1.json` - Generic
- `react.json` - Conflicts with official
- `test.json` - Not descriptive
### Repository Structure
**Flat (recommended for small repos):**
```
skill-configs/
├── README.md
├── react-internal.json
├── vue-internal.json
└── api-v2.json
```
**Organized (recommended for large repos):**
```
skill-configs/
├── README.md
├── frontend/
│ ├── react-internal.json
│ └── vue-internal.json
├── backend/
│ ├── django-api.json
│ └── fastapi-platform.json
└── mobile/
├── react-native.json
└── flutter.json
```
**Note:** Config discovery works recursively, so both structures work!
### Source Priorities
Lower number = higher priority. Use sensible defaults:
- `1-10`: Critical/override configs
- `50-100`: Team configs (default: 100)
- `1000+`: Fallback/experimental
**Example:**
```python
# Override official React config with internal version
add_config_source(name="team", ..., priority=1) # Checked first
# Official API is checked last (priority: infinity)
```
### Security
**DO:**
- Use environment variables for tokens
- Use private repos for sensitive configs
- Rotate tokens regularly
- Use fine-grained tokens (read-only if possible)
**DON'T:**
- Commit tokens to git
- Share tokens between people
- Use personal tokens for teams (use service accounts)
- Store tokens in config files
### Maintenance
**Regular tasks:**
```bash
# Update configs in repo
cd myteam-skill-configs
# Edit configs...
git commit -m "Update React config" && git push
# Developers get updates automatically on next fetch
fetch_config(source="team", config_name="react-internal")
# ^--- Auto-pulls latest changes
```
**Force refresh:**
```python
# Delete cache and re-clone
fetch_config(source="team", config_name="react-internal", refresh=true)
```
**Clean up old sources:**
```bash
# Remove unused sources
remove_config_source(name="old-team")
# Free disk space
rm -rf ~/.skill-seekers/cache/old-team/
```

## Troubleshooting
### Authentication Failures
**Error:** "Authentication failed for https://github.com/org/repo.git"
**Solutions:**
1. Check token is set:
```bash
echo $GITHUB_TOKEN # Should show token
```
2. Verify token has correct permissions:
- GitHub: `repo` scope for private repos
- GitLab: `read_repository` scope
3. Check token isn't expired:
- Regenerate if needed
4. Try direct access:
```bash
git clone https://$GITHUB_TOKEN@github.com/org/repo.git test-clone
```
### Config Not Found
**Error:** "Config 'react' not found in repository. Available configs: django, vue"
**Solutions:**
1. List available configs:
```python
# Shows what's actually in the repo
list_config_sources()
```
2. Check config file exists in repo:
```bash
# Clone locally and inspect
git clone <git_url> temp-inspect
find temp-inspect -name "*.json"
```
3. Verify config name (case-insensitive):
- `react` matches `React.json` or `react.json`
### Slow Cloning
**Issue:** Repository takes minutes to clone.
**Solutions:**
1. Shallow clone is already enabled (depth=1)
2. Check repository size:
```bash
# See repo size
gh repo view owner/repo --json diskUsage
```
3. If very large (>100MB), consider:
- Splitting configs into separate repos
- Using sparse checkout
- Contacting IT to optimize repo
### Cache Issues
**Issue:** Getting old configs even after updating repo.
**Solutions:**
1. Force refresh:
```python
fetch_config(source="team", config_name="react", refresh=true)
```
2. Manual cache clear:
```bash
rm -rf ~/.skill-seekers/cache/team/
```
3. Check auto-pull worked:
```bash
cd ~/.skill-seekers/cache/team
git log -1 # Shows latest commit
```

## Advanced Topics
### Multiple Git Accounts
Use different tokens for different repos:
```bash
# Personal GitHub
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_personal_xxx
# Work GitHub
export GITHUB_WORK_TOKEN=ghp_work_yyy
# Company GitLab
export GITLAB_COMPANY_TOKEN=glpat-zzz
```
Register with specific tokens:
```python
add_config_source(
name="personal",
git_url="https://github.com/myuser/configs.git",
token_env="GITHUB_TOKEN"
)
add_config_source(
name="work",
git_url="https://github.com/mycompany/configs.git",
token_env="GITHUB_WORK_TOKEN"
)
```
### Custom Cache Location
Set custom cache directory:
```bash
export SKILL_SEEKERS_CACHE_DIR=/mnt/large-disk/skill-seekers-cache
```
Or pass to GitConfigRepo:
```python
from skill_seekers.mcp.git_repo import GitConfigRepo
gr = GitConfigRepo(cache_dir="/custom/path/cache")
```
### SSH URLs
SSH URLs are automatically converted to HTTPS + token:
```python
# Input
add_config_source(
name="team",
git_url="git@github.com:myorg/configs.git",
token_env="GITHUB_TOKEN"
)
# Internally becomes
# https://ghp_xxx@github.com/myorg/configs.git
```
### Priority Resolution
When same config exists in multiple sources:
```python
add_config_source(name="team", ..., priority=1) # Checked first
add_config_source(name="company", ..., priority=2) # Checked second
# API mode is checked last (priority: infinity)
fetch_config(config_name="react")
# 1. Checks team source
# 2. If not found, checks company source
# 3. If not found, falls back to API
```
### CI/CD Integration
Use in GitHub Actions:
```yaml
name: Generate Skills
on: push
jobs:
generate:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Install Skill Seekers
run: pip install skill-seekers
- name: Register config source
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
run: |
python3 << EOF
from skill_seekers.mcp.source_manager import SourceManager
sm = SourceManager()
sm.add_source(
name="team",
git_url="https://github.com/myorg/configs.git"
)
EOF
- name: Fetch and use config
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
run: |
# Use MCP fetch_config or direct Python
skill-seekers scrape --config <fetched_config>
```
