In previous tutorial we implemented Spring Cloud Config using Native mode. We had also seen what need Spring Cloud Config fulfills. In this tutorial we will be implementing Spring Cloud Config using Git.

Lets Begin-

As discussed previously this is the module architecture we will be developing.



The steps we will be following for this tutorial will be-

• Creating a Git Project. Creating the application.properties in this project
• Modifying the employee-config-server module we created previously to use the application.properties from the Git Repo instead of Native files.

• Configure the Git Repo 1. Got to GitHib. If already have an account login or else SignUp.
  2. Create a new repository named employee-config-server.
  
  
  3. Finally create anew file named application.properties, copy the global properties like Eureka url and commit this file.
  
  
  

  eureka.client.serviceUrl.defaultZone=http://localhost:8090/eureka
       

  
  
• Next we will modify the employee-config-server module we created previously.
  1. From the src/main/resources/application.properties remove the native property and add the Git project url we just created as follows-

  server.port=8888
  spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri=https://github.com/JavaInUse/employee-config-server
   	

  2. We can now delete the common-config folders as the global properties will be read from Git Repo.

Next start the modules in following sequence-

• employee-config-server
• eureka-server
• employee-producer

On running the employee-producer we get the output as follows-

The employee-producer module gets the eureka properties from the employee-config-server module and starts successfully.
