## tk create source git

Create or update a git source

### Synopsis


The create source 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.
