GitLab

Integrating GitLab with Hyper allows for the efficient synchronization of data and the use of Hyper's querying capabilities. This guide provides steps for setting up the GitLab data connector, tailored to GitLab's specific app configuration process.

Connecting GitLab in the Hyper UI

1. Access Hyper UI: Log into the Hyper user interface.

2. Navigate to Data Sources: Find the section where you can manage your data sources.

3. Add GitLab: Select GitLab from the list of available data sources to begin the connection setup.

4. Authenticate: Authenticate using your GitLab credentials to allow Hyper access to your GitLab data.

5. Select Data: Choose the GitLab objects or reports you wish to sync with Hyper.

6. Initiate Synchronization: Configure the sync settings to start the data ingestion process into Hyper.

GitLab OAuth Configuration

1. Create a GitLab Connected App: Go to your GitLab instance and create a new connected app with OAuth settings.

2. Obtain API Credentials: After setting up the connected app, take note of the consumer key and consumer secret.

3. Set Callback URL: Configure the callback URL provided by Hyper to ensure proper OAuth flow.

4. Implement OAuth Flow: Within your application, implement the OAuth flow to enable users to authorize access to their GitLab data.

5. Exchange Authorization Code for Access Token: Following user authorization, exchange the authorization code for an access token and refresh token.

6. Securely Store Tokens: Ensure that both tokens are stored securely within your application.

7. Handle Token Refresh: Implement token refresh logic to maintain access when the current token expires.

Querying GitLab Data with Hyper

After integrating GitLab with Hyper, you can:

1. Ingest Data: Use Hyper's API to ingest data from GitLab.

2. Apply RAG Queries: Perform complex RAG queries on your GitLab data for deeper insights and analytics.

3. Maintain Data Freshness: Utilize the automatic synchronization feature to keep your GitLab data up-to-date within Hyper.

4. Leverage Webhooks: Set up webhooks in GitLab to push updates to Hyper, enabling real-time data syncing.

Access Control and Security

When handling GitLab data, it's important to:

1. Define Access Levels: Clearly define access levels within your GitLab organization.

2. Enforce Permissions: Use Hyper's access control features to enforce permissions based on user roles.

3. Manage User Sessions: Monitor user sessions and link them to the validity of GitLab access tokens.

By following these steps, developers can harness the full potential of Hyper's capabilities using GitLab data, maintaining robust security and access control measures throughout the integration process.
