 ## Require git authentication in templates

 If your template requires git authentication (e.g. running `git clone` in the [startup_script](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/coder/coder/latest/docs/resources/agent#startup_script)), you can require users authenticate via git prior to creating a workspace:

 ![Git authentication in template](../images/admin/git-auth-template.png)

 The following example will require users authenticate via GitHub and auto-clone a repo
 into the `~/coder` directory.

 ```hcl
 data "coder_git_auth" "github" {
  # Matches the ID of the git auth provider in Coder.
  id = "github"
 }

 resource "coder_agent" "dev" {
  os   = "linux"
  arch = "amd64"
  dir  = "~/coder"
  env = {
    GITHUB_TOKEN : data.coder_git_auth.github.access_token
  }
  startup_script = <<EOF
 if [ ! -d ~/coder ]; then
    git clone https://github.com/coder/coder
 fi
 EOF
 }
 ```

 See the [Terraform provider documentation](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/coder/coder/latest/docs/data-sources/git_auth) for all available options.
