# 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 <a href="#adding-your-credentials" id="adding-your-credentials"></a>

To add your Git credentials, from the [Shared credentials](/sts/admin/settings/credentials.md) page click **Add credentials**, then select the **Git** option.

Enter a name for your shared credentials, then select your Git provider or select **Custom** if no options fit your authentication type. Fill in your Username and access token or password.

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