Setting up a brand new project for Umbraco Cloud, but using your own GIT Repo
p
Hi All, I hope this message finds you well. I would like to ask the community for a bit of clarity regarding the best way to store your own code in a GIT repo, but still be able to deploy to an Umbraco Cloud Environment. Do you create a new GIT repo in say something like Azure Devops and then do you clone the contents of the Umrbaco Cloud environment into it. The Official docs aren't quite clear on this. Could someone be so kind as to bullet point the steps they would take (not using CI/CD) to create a new project but store all custom code separately. Apologies if this doesn't make much sense, it's a difficult one to explain. https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cloud/getting-started/git-repository-in-a-cloud-project#disadvantages-of-using-an-umbraco-cloud-project-repository-as-a-source-code-repository

You have to use CI/CD as far as I know, I've set it up using those steps documented and it works ok.

When I need to host repositories outside of Umbraco Cloud I always use their CI/Cd Flow service: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cloud/set-up/project-settings/umbraco-cicd I would recommend looking into it! If it's not suitable, then I will self plug and I can recommend our hosting at https://umbhost.net as you can deploy using Web Deploy or FTP from your own Git Repo or Visual Studio
