# Add Git credentials

Git credentials added here will be usable by any admin-level user, though they will not be able to view the actual credentials directly.

## Adding your credentials

To add your Git credentials, from the [Shared credentials](https://docs.portainer.io/admin/settings/credentials) page click **Add credentials**, then select the **Git** option.

Select either **Basic** or **Token** authorization depending on what your Git repository requires. For example, GitHub uses Basic authorization and Bitbucket uses Token authorization. Then supply a name for your shared credentials, your Git username, and your personal access token.

{% hint style="info" %}
Ensure your token has repository read permissions (scopes), otherwise authentication will fail. See the [Git authentication token permissions FAQ](/faqs/getting-started/what-scopes-are-required-for-github-gitlab-and-bitbucket-tokens.md) for more information.
{% endhint %}
