All questions about SourceCraft

General questions

I am working in Yandex Cloud using my own organization, but SourceCraft has created a new one. How do I delete it?

To use a SourceCraft account, you need a personal organization, i.e., a workspace with you as the owner. During sign-up, SourceCraft looks for a suitable Yandex Cloud organization and, if it fails to find one, creates a new organization.

You cannot delete a personal organization directly. To delete it:

  1. Contact support to select a different personal organization.
  2. Delete the organization you do not need.

To switch to a new personal organization, you must be its owner.

I have created an organization in SourceCraft, but it turned out that I do not need it. How do I delete it?

Since each SourceCraft organization is tied to a Yandex Cloud organization, you can manage them in Cloud Center. If you have the required permissions, simply delete the Yandex Cloud organization; this will also delete the organization in SourceCraft.

SourceCraft Sites

How do I confirm ownership of a SourceCraft Sites website in Yandex Webmaster?

To confirm ownership of a SourceCraft Sites website in Yandex Webmaster:

  1. Create a repository in the organization with the same name as the organization.

  2. In the repository, create a SourceCraft Sites website. It will be available at the following addresses:

    • https://<organization_name>.sourcecraft.site/
    • https://<organization_name>.sourcecraft.site/<organization_name>/

  3. Add the verification meta tag to the site's main page:

    • Register the website in Yandex Webmaster.
    • Select verification by meta tag.
    • Add the meta tag you got to the HTML code of the main page:
    <meta name="yandex-verification" content="<verification_code>" />

This will verify all repositories and sites in the organization. Learn more about configuring hosting here.

Proxy authentication error in JetBrains IDE

Error message:

Failed to authenticate with proxy

Check if the proxy server is enabled in the IDE. If it is, disable it and try authenticating again.

SSH access

How do I test an SSH connection?

To learn how to add an SSH key and access a repository, see Accessing a repository with an SSH key.

After adding the SSH key, run this command:

ssh -T ssh://ssh.sourcecraft.dev

If authenticated successfully, you will see this message:

Hi <username>! You've successfully authenticated, but SourceCraft does not provide shell access.

How do I use SSH over HTTPS port?

If your firewall blocks SSH connections and cloning over HTTPS with a personal token is unavailable, try cloning the repository via SSH over the HTTPS port. This connection is usually allowed by firewalls, but may be blocked by proxy servers.

To check if SSH connection is possible via the HTTPS port, run this command:

ssh -T -p 443 ssh.sourcecraft.dev

If authenticated successfully, you will see this message:

Hi <username>! You've successfully authenticated, but SourceCraft does not provide shell access.

Note

For port 443, use the ssh.sourcecraft.dev hostname, not sourcecraft.dev.

To clone the repository via port 443, run this command:

git clone ssh://ssh.sourcecraft.dev:443/<username>/<repository_name>.git

How do I set up an SSH connection via HTTPS?

If connecting to ssh.sourcecraft.dev on port 443 works, you can configure SSH so that all connections to sourcecraft.dev automatically use this host and port.

To do this, edit the ~/.ssh/config file and add the following section to it:

Host sourcecraft.dev
    Hostname ssh.sourcecraft.dev
    Port 443
    User git

To check that the settings are applied, connect to sourcecraft.dev again:

ssh -T sourcecraft.dev

If the connection is successful, you will see this message:

Hi <username>! You've successfully authenticated, but SourceCraft does not provide shell access.

How do I update my list of known hosts?

If this is your first time connecting to SourceCraft, you will get an unknown host warning:

The authenticity of host '[ssh.sourcecraft.dev]:443 ([<IP_address>]:443)' can't be established.
ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:+DiY3wvvV6TuJJhbp********.
This host key is known by the following other names/addresses:
    ~/.ssh/known_hosts:32: sourcecraft.dev
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?

Type yes into the terminal and press Enter.
