## tk create source git

Create or update a GitRepository source

### Synopsis


The create source git command generates a GitRepository resource and waits for it to sync.
For Git over SSH, host and SSH keys are automatically generated and stored in a Kubernetes secret.
For private Git repositories, the basic authentication credentials are stored in a Kubernetes secret.

```
tk create source git [name] [flags]
```

  create source git podinfo \
    --url=https://github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo \
    --tag="3.2.3"

  # Create a source from a public Git repository tag that matches a semver range
  create source git podinfo \
    --url=https://github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo \
    --tag-semver=">=3.2.0 <3.3.0"

  # Create a source from a Git repository using SSH authentication
  create source git podinfo \
    --url=ssh://git@github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo \
