```
- **repository** (*Required*): Git URL to your repository (make sure to use double quotes). You have to add .git to your GitHub repository URL (see example config)
- **git_branch** (*Required*): Branch name of the git repo, leave this as 'master' if you are unsure.
- **git_remote** (*Required*): Name of the tracked repository, leave this as 'origin' if you are unsure.
- **git_command** (*Required*): Must be either 'pull' or 'reset', leave this as 'pull' if you are unsure.
* **pull**: Incorporates changes from a remote repository into the current branch. Will preserve any local changes to tracked files.
* **reset**: Will execute ```git reset --hard``` and overwrite any local changes to tracked files and update from the remote repository.
<p class='note warning'>
Using the <b>reset</b> option will overwrite changes to tracked files. Tracked files are those visible in the Github repository or those given by the output on this command: ```git ls-tree -r master --name-only```
</p>
- **auto_restart** (*Optional*): Restart Home Assistant when the configuration has changed (and is valid).
- **repeat/active** (*Optional*): Pull periodic for git updates.
- **repeat/interval** (*Optional*): Pull all x seconds and look for changes.
- **deployment_user** (*Optional*): Username to use when authenticating to a repo with a username and password.
- **deployment_password** (*Optional*): Password to use when authenticating to a repo. Ignored if deployment_user is not set.
- **deployment_key** (*Optional*): A private SSH key that will be used for communication during git operations. This key is mandatory for ssh-accessed repositories, which are the ones with the following pattern: `<user>@<host>:<repository path>`.
- **deployment_key_protocol** (*Optional*): The key protocol. Default is "rsa". Valid protocols are:
* **dsa**
* **ecdsa**
* **ed25519**
* **rsa**
The protocol is typically known by the suffix of the private key --e.g., a key file named `id_rsa` will be a private key using "rsa" protocol.
<p class='note warning'>
You should only use this add-on if you do not have an existing configuration or if your existing configuration is already in a git repository. If the script does not find the necessary git files in your configuration folder, it will delete anything that might be there. Please ensure that there is a `.git` folder before using this. You can verify this by listing the items in the configuration folder including hidden files. The command is `ls -a /config`.
