I'm wondering how you can sync your Postman config with a git repository.
I know you can export and import from Postman to a folder - which is OK - but I wondered if there was something more effortless.
I'm not exactly sure how you're trying to use this, but a few options would be:
First Option
to use their addon cli called newman. You can run collections from a URL or Local file with newman using
newman run http://some.url.here
Then if you make the remote url a part of a git repository it would obviously update/change with each commit/pull
Second Option
Try this with extreme caution and only if you feel comfortable with the process, also this may not be compliant with their terms of use so I don't suggest you try it without first some research
If you can find the directory in which the Postman collections are held, you could create a hard link with the command line from a git repository on your machine to the directory or specific file you need to link. Whenever you change the source file the one in the Postman config will change.
The way in which you accomplish this will depend on the system you use and version of Postman.
In addition to exporting and cloud syncing as mentioned in the other answers, there's some other options too.
Postman added a Git sync in Postman app v9 so you can manage version control with forking, merging, and pull requests.
There are also built-in integrations to sync your Postman collections with GitHub, with GitLab, and other services for version control. These integrations are for users on the paid plans.
Postman also has an API so you can GET and run the latest version of your collection, environment, or whatever using Newman or continuous integration tools or to build your own integration.
Postman is not designed for that case. They offer a cloud service which keeps you and your collaborators in sync. You can try their cloud plan for 30 days for free. Check here: https://www.getpostman.com/cloud_trial_faq
You can use Postman integrations (Home > Integrations) to link Postman to your remote git repository.
The following article explains how to integrate your gitlab repo to Postman:
https://learning.postman.com/docs/integrations/available-integrations/gitlab/
Also you can use Postman API versionning to do something similar:
https://learning.postman.com/docs/designing-and-developing-your-api/versioning-an-api/
For non-free plans, Postman now (version 9 and up) supports automatic sync of collections with a git repository on several popular git services.
(Again, it's currently only available for paid plans)
See the documentation for how to integrate Postman with GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket.
The process is roughly:
create a dedicated repo on your git provider (e.g. my-postman-collections-repo)
create a personal access token for the provider (e.g. GitHub) with the expected scope (e.g. repo and user)
define an integration (using postman UI) for each collection you want to be kept in sync
I'm working with the GitHub integration and it works great.

I currently have a server build process that uses Terraform and deploys a server all from code.
I'm looking for a web UI with forms that I could either populate specific fields and or do API get commands against a VCenter or wherever the server is being built to populate the specific fields. The fields that get populated would be stored as the variables.tf file and when someone hits submit, it would run the actual Terraform command terraform apply to build the server based on the variables. My guess is the terraform binaries would have to live on there so it could run in the background.
It doesn't have to be some super fancy web page, just something that I could potentially make look cool for Director level folks.
Also, I don't want to use TF enterprise, yet. I've looked into a couple of open source projects (atlantis and terrahub) but none seem to be what I'm looking for.
I'm far from a web developer so any help would be awesome.
You can try with SLD
Stack-Lifecycle-Deployment
I think it has everything that you need
It is very intuitive, it has a web interface and a rest api to easily integrate it with the rest of the applications.
I am using GitHub repositories to back up my Postman collections in the form of JSON format.But, I am unable to integrate GitHub & Jenkins directly. Please confirm, Is there any way by which latest code which I have committed in GitHub in the form of JSON , can automatically get executed through Jenkins ?
Yes you can.
All you need to do is configure Jenkins to listen to changes on your Github repository.
The you can follow this guide or read up any of the numerous ways in which teams are using Postman with Jenkins.
How do I go about integrating this S3 plugin into my grails application? The documentation is very limited.
I have it fully installed with Quartz. And I have my AWS account, policies and bucket setup.
I want to be able to upload content for my Event domain class, with the content being uploaded being exclusive for each event object.
Thank you.
The plugin you linked to looks very outdated, Last updated: 24 March 2010 and seems odd to depend on another plugin like quartz to use s3.
I would instead suggest Karman (maintained by the same person as asset-pipeline) and updated for Grails 2 & 3 https://grails.org/plugin/karman-aws?skipRedirect=true
Or you may just use the aws java sdk directly - it is straight forward api: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UploadObjSingleOpJava.html
This plugin is out of date.
I think it will be better to use https://grails.org/plugin/aws-sdk. This plugin supports S3 integration. You can find docs on github.
How do I download the artifacts from a Jenkins build to my local machine using Python?
I will assume that you want to download via http.
You might want to use GNU wget for example, but if you really want to use Python - check out How do I download a file over HTTP using Python?. Urllib2 provides an easy way to handle http requests.
This is providing that you will not need to perform any additional actions to get to the file (authentication etc.).
I'm just getting started with Jenkins CI, and had a question which I'm
struggling to find answers for in the docs or online. Wonder if
someone might be able to offer some advice?
I'm attempting to use it to automatically deploy my dev and stage
branches of my Django projects which are hosted on a Github
organisation repository (ie, private). At the moment I have a user
"django" who can access the Github repo via a Github deploy key. My
Jenkins user can't access the repo. What's the best practice way of
dealing with this - should I be creating an ssh deploy key for the
"jenkins" user, or should I be getting Jenkins to run as my "django"
user? I've seen mention if a HUDSON_USER in a newsgroup post, but I
can't find reference to this in the docs.
Many thanks!
Ludo.
I have not worked with Github and so this answer may not apply at all, but we do use Jenkins and we use both CVS & Subversion for source control.
In our system, we use different username/password combinations for all three (Jenkins, CVS, Subversion), and it has had no adverse effects yet (it has been a year since we deployed Hudson - currently building 50+ projects).
As long as you can get Jenkins to access the repo using your github deploy key, you shouldn't have to change Jenkins to run as django, or create a jenkins user key for github. Personally, I would keep them separate.
Did you try this?
Contact your OS admin team to grant to access to perform few operations on your version control using SUDO access.
OR
run the command using
sudo -H -u <username> command parameters..
