## What to do next

If you haven't already, configure basic or OAuth 2.0 authentication to connect to a Git domain or repository. For more information, see [Connect to a Git provider using basic authentication with the ServiceNow IDE](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/2VWgZiZ1Qo_SsLNIXe0~cQ "Connect to a Git domain using basic authentication credentials to manage applications in source control from the ServiceNow IDE.") or [Connect to a Git provider using OAuth 2.0 with the ServiceNow IDE](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/feQ39EH6wC6mkClq6KB6NQ#connect-git-provider-oauth-2 "Set up an OAuth 2.0 application registry and credentials to connect to your Git provider from the ServiceNow IDE.").  
Note:  
The MID Server user must have the sn_glider.ide_git_user role or admin role to perform Git operations in the ServiceNow IDE. For more information, see [Create the MID Server user and grant the role](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_SetupMIDServerRole&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US) and [ServiceNow IDE MID Server User \[sn_glider.ide_git_user\]](s8eSxU1RFnQrjJhWObvq_g#servicenow-ide-role-1 "Assign administrator privileges to a MID server user to manage applications in source control from the ServiceNow IDE.").
