Git Commands

redu git verify

Section titled “redu git verify”

Tests whether the active course’s Git connection is working. The command makes a test API call to the configured Git provider (GitHub, GitLab, or Gitea) and reports the result.

Terminal window
redu git verify --course seed-course
Git connection 'GitHub Org' verified=true checkedAt=2026-03-05T12:00:00Z

If verification fails (invalid token, unreachable server, insufficient permissions), the command exits with code 1 and prints the error.

When to use

Section titled “When to use”

Run git verify before repository operations (repo create, repo clone, repo update) to confirm your personal access token is valid and has the required permissions for the target organization. This avoids partial failures mid-way through a batch repository creation.
