# Git Snippets

Git Snippets allows you to include pieces of code from your Git repository into Confluence pages.

## Bitbucket Server Requirements

Git Snippets requires an Application Link or an Access Token in order to work with Bitbucket Server. Note: If both an Application Link and an Access Token are configured for a Bitbucket Server instance, your users will be able to choose between the two in the Git Snippets macro.

### Application Link

Go to the *Confluence Administration → Application Links* and follow the [Documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/applinks/application-links-documentation-165120834.html) to create an Application Link to Bitbucket. After that, the users will get a one-time authorization message when they want to see or add a Git snippet if they haven't authorized Bitbucket yet.  
![image-20201021-091156.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_5f54663fa6a0e43b5f4d447f4c8199592f664a49eafa625bd8dae916d13bc2b4/image-20201021-091156.png?cb=f3a1e6204e39bfeb93bdf1d08038ed25)  
![image-20230509-181828.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_80969e9f1bc94f44ce440c31f9d2eced9f0d74ba2bf29421e85031442e171997/image-20230509-181828.png?cb=324a5e99422c15460c86c6556cfc2f52)

### Access Token

If you can't create an Application Link to your Bitbucket Server instance, or want to make Git Snippets available for anonymous users, you can also configure a [Bitbucket Server access token](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/personal-access-tokens-939515499.html). To make Git Snippets use a such a token, you need to go to your Bitbucket instance *Manage Account → Personal Access Tokens* and create one. Then go to *Confluence Administration → Git Snippets Settings* and insert your token together with the address of your Bitbucket Server instance.  
![image-20230509-181851.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_309e913654b3e710771a08403d9ed244b3bf9812195615ee6daeffd4e47cb786/image-20230509-181851.png?cb=747fa39b3946383f8c77d6fe1ab22f62)

## Bitbucket Cloud Requirements

No steps are required to use public repositories from [bitbucket.org](https://bitbucket.org/).

For private repositories you need to add a Bitbucket username and app password. Log in to [bitbucket.org](https://bitbucket.org/) and go to *Settings → App Passwords*. Create a new password and check the Read permission for repositories.  
![image-20201021-091236.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_c1aa90c7d78802acbf04fdadc737c437e49d119468dfc7f57d8cd36e2fe8e404/image-20201021-091236.png?cb=77fd274cee9d4c10940dbc65e83a5f40)

Copy the generated password and go to *Confluence Administration → Git Snippets Settings* and insert your username and app password in the [Bitbucket.org](http://bitbucket.org/) section.  
![image-20230509-181917.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_15d8966e351eb27c9337ca8ecf823ac8b4fa2a9dd97fa0ef3b1a35a8ed8fcffe/image-20230509-181917.png?cb=2ebe519b8374b90de0e88e150f0764b3)

## Github requirements

In order for Git Snippets to work with [Github](https://github.com/), you need a Github account with which the Git Snippets macro will make the requests to get the code from Github. Git Snippets will need a [personal access token](https://github.com/settings/tokens), you can create with your Github account. Then go to *Confluence Administration → Git Snippets Settings* and insert your token.  
![image-20230509-181954.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_0ae90a803c5450b0113f466ee8269c4b262154759ff7ede4c73d5d18bb3ce31a/image-20230509-181954.png?cb=b3fbe937ab688c9b925ffed3d276d81e)

## Github Enterprise Server requirements

For Github Enterprise Server, you'll need to provide the base URL to your system and an associated access token. To generate an access token, go to *Profile → Settings → Developer Settings* and generate a new token. The scope `repo:status` will be sufficient. Support for Github Enterprise Server is relatively new, so please don't hesitate to [reach out](https://go.livelyapps.com/support) if you experience any issues.  
![image-20230509-183103.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_94aaca370f5e02c02a4d48c4b4d2bf2489929bda89b6d7a75f52c52d03c14685/image-20230509-183103.png?cb=6dcc5b3a7a46aa86122ac776a4a479ae)

## Gitlab requirements

You can use Git Snippets with both Cloud and on-premise version of [Gitlab](https://about.gitlab.com/). All you need to do is obtaining an [access token](https://gitlab.com/-/profile/personal_access_tokens) that will be used to authenticate all Confluence requests (only read permissions are required). Then go to *Confluence Administration → Git Snippets Settings* and insert your Gitlab URL and the token.  
![image-20230509-182024.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_300ed3af47459f2bff475bca17227d90a703b83d83367989f7869daebbeb74cf/image-20230509-182024.png?cb=ad002604b9348c86f53f4051a02440a8)

## Git snippet macro

With the Git snippet macro, you can insert code from Bitbucket Server or Github into a Confluence page.

### Inserting a snippet

To add a snippet, browse to a file on the web frontend of Bitbucket Server or Github, select the lines you want to display in Confluence (if you don't select the lines, the whole file will be displayed) and copy the URL.  
![image-20201021-091325.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_16f0e9b0aa0e720bb61e941ab27a5fbfd49e5138534f71c4b5f85b59ec1dcb82/image-20201021-091325.png?cb=5e80b74e979996bfa1eb3020a1144f0d)

Then go to a Confluence page, add the Git snippet macro and paste the URL you just copied.  
![image-20201021-091343.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_6d431dd3ea61b905bedde36a9cb42980b86a9b80b3bce3c1837ca425062e51b9/image-20201021-091343.png?cb=61610689f58d961f0c77bd6bf564a454)

You should now see the selected code as a snippet in the macro preview. Click Save to insert the macro.

### Updating the line numbers

The line numbers will be extracted automatically from the URL, but you can change them afterwards at any time.  
![image-20201021-091402.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_3fe2034068a84a4716ca58b957d345456f4387eaa72cfcb363ef98526e16bcc7/image-20201021-091402.png?cb=a4b95043f1e947c69558135dada983bf)

### Updating the commit hash

The commit hash is automatically inserted when you paste a URL. When the code changes in the repository, the commit hash will differ from the one stored in the macro and Git snippets will try to show the correct snippet, even though the line numbers might have changed. You can update to the latest commit by clicking "*Load latest commit"*.  
![image-20201021-091420.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_f1086bf1e22249b75a14239ff704653e77e29555184d2253e8845e63aaa08704/image-20201021-091420.png?cb=ca86472c0a05d420d4c01bfc0f45d96f)

### Enabling the Markdown Renderer

If the snippet you are including is a Markdown file, you can choose to render it directly as HTML instead of displaying the Markdown as a code block. Settings like **"Theme"** and **"Line Numbering"** will affect the code blocks that are generated from that snippet.  
![image-20201021-091436.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_71af7e39a4ca98bf71cffc95d216896714539e0061c7883148de11edcf206efd/image-20201021-091436.png?cb=63206e1a18c4986b1d81aedb602cde65)

### Rendering snippets as raw text

If you want to render your snippet as raw/plain text, you can enable the "Raw Text" macro parameter. This will render the snippet as text within a `<pre>` tag, without any additional markup applied. This can be useful in particular if you want to use your snippet as input for other macros. In such a scenario, you would nest the Git Snippets macro inside another macro.

For example, a snippet could be used to render UML diagrams using [PlantUML for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/41025/plantuml-for-confluence?tab=overview) and its "PlantUML Render" macro.  
![image-20220419-154501.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_1cce2589d44daeb2402714761075dedbd3a4df28f123f31256eafb4967cafc99/image-20220419-154501.png?cb=5c71286c5ca00f7afec5ad2d254941ce)  
![image-20220419-154538.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_39bb6647f0c289c8260aa095f10b27966603f6d2327bba20868d2a1a528aee25/image-20220419-154538.png?cb=9f5dc860ed00d6f657a481632d7ef5af)  
![image-20220419-154556.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_fe72e00b9d0c809a80a8b885eea5a6d40fae1b99a4c6ae578a451761d77ebb15/image-20220419-154556.png?cb=634f888f592538c9f1285843ae443431)

## Git snippet guide blueprint

With the Git snippet guide blueprint, you can create step-by-step guides with Git snippet macros.  
![image-20210706-074955.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_a6623c5b1b1cab26d955f08f4c5c07fadec84ca5992a95a9ba49a3cfa8bb6e3e/image-20210706-074955.png?cb=5bdd1d06ea288ed819e3a26ab989c50d)

For example, you can use real code to document how to create a Confluence macro by pointing out the necessary steps like updating the plugin XML, creating a class, etc.  
![image-20201021-091510.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_f076741f2d78c7538ee269becec846e35aa53905ab881c9ad40695ade46cedb0/image-20201021-091510.png?cb=71506b09cd29f3f3e1e79649d23dd32f)

# Creating a new Diary entry

There are two ways to create a new entry for your Diary:

* Using the **shortcut** for writing a new entry. (**d**)

* Clicking on the editor prompt.

![image-20210706-121951.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_ed0abf8c81a850faa827b02cc330654d0034b1c930352b5e3b3f625f4117c5b1/image-20210706-121951.png?cb=2fd5e4936e620717a7c2a71f4041a98e)

An editor will appear where the prompt was and will be scrolled into your view. You can now start writing your Diary entry.

As we have embedded the Confluence editor into the Diary you are able to use text formatting, user mentions, macros, and everything else the editor offers, just as if you would be using the normal page editor.  
![image-20210706-122027.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_12012a057863a840fbe085978fc4d59bc5ee1e17e18ca00647ffd644b8b60acf/image-20210706-122027.png?cb=a6bf567e4821f48d331643bfba74e393)

Once you are done you have two options to save your entry:

* Using the **shortcut** for saving an entry. (**ctrl+s**)

* Clicking on the save button.

After saving your entry, you will either immediately see your new entry, or, if your entry contains macros, the page will be reloaded and your new entry will be scrolled into your view.  
![image-20210706-122048.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_62e37bbaef80197629362240c98dd85bf15bbc36b1df337884061517a094a83a/image-20210706-122048.png?cb=f57b24d26a1686a7d314d79dbd6cd60c)

This was pretty quick and easy, wasn't it? If you remember the shortcuts you can save even more time.  
Note that if you save a new entry there will be a message about it on the updates stream of your Confluence. This also includes a short preview of what you have written.  
![image-20210706-122115.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_7eb4e13af0243a14677de0a1eb6676680b3f2bf4799b82c71dbb6259f7ce4e67/image-20210706-122115.png?cb=e7b6832dc8d94a35dc641b4c750aa4d3)

Now that you know how to create new entries you should probably look at how to [edit an existing entry](https://help.livelyapps.com/diary-for-confluence-server/editing-a-diary-entry.md).

# Deleting a Diary entry

here's an entry you want to delete? Just like with editing entries there are two ways to do this.

## Using the in place delete button

The Diary has a feature which allows you to easily delete your entries while viewing the page. Simply hover over the entry you want to delete and click on the trash can.  
![image-20210706-123452.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_32436b0c2ae6bcda1b34e695d8bf0be0c50edea0b8ba51f4766c3b8676f45851/image-20210706-123452.png?cb=e526ba90a0feebb8b00d378c5e4582b3)

You will be asked if you really want to delete your entry. After confirming, the page will be reloaded and your entry will be gone.

## Deleting entries using the page editor

Just like with editing entries you can of course also delete them by using the page editor.

The easiest way to do this is by clicking into the row that you want to delete and then removing it by clicking this button:  
![image-20210706-123556.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_ee730dfc4711cbf42858fbf79036e74739e22490a8101a01464b5656ffeebad2/image-20210706-123556.png?cb=80b244c83423f933b7beccc5dd3e60fe)  
If you ever need to undo the deletion of a Diary entry, simple revert your page to a previous version.

Now that you're almost a Diary expert, you should definitely read about [how to share Diary entries](https://help.livelyapps.com/diary-for-confluence-server/sharing-diary-entries-with-your-team.md).

# Editing a Diary entry

After you have created one or more Diary entries you have the ability to edit them. There's two ways this can be done:

## Using the in-place editing mechanism

The Diary has a feature which allows you to easily edit the content of your entries while viewing the page. Simply hover over the entry you want to edit and click on the pencil icon.  
![image-20210706-122516.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_56f17080810240f72113a77e7d43111639090f648edfa158281bf8817bc44947/image-20210706-122516.png?cb=2de114a79eb5a7412861e7594861b357)

An editor will be loaded in place of the entry and will be filled with its content.  
![image-20210706-123014.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_7a5a8eac692ba909c349c17d36493aa5eb2a09a1fae20fe994926dce4c83d0eb/image-20210706-123014.png?cb=0ad54648e177eae7b2ecd929fcd8ccf8)

After you are done editing your entry you can save it by either pressing **"ctrl+s"** or clicking the save button.

## Editing entries using the page editor

As entries are just ordinary page content you can actually edit them using the page editor too! To enter page edit mode press **"e"** or click on the Edit button in the top right hand corner of your page.

When in edit mode your Diary will look like this:  
![image-20210706-123107.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_da295adc22b8708832a9e11605efdedbd758387fe2cb2c1a523c3a04cbda7754/image-20210706-123107.png?cb=76dbde7fbf3e56ef1df826a4bd8da37a)

In here you can not only edit the content of your entries, but also their date and time as well as their authors.  
Beware! Should you*break* an entry (for example by deleting its author or setting its time to something invalid like *"24:53"* ) the entry willnot be rendered by the Diary macro anymore. This can easily be fixed by reverting the page to a previous version or manually repairing the broken values via the page editor.

Editing entries is just as easy as creating them, don't you think? And if you're using the in place editing mechanism it's also just as quick!

You are on your way to become a true Diary expert! Now that you know how to edit Diary entries, it's time to go one step further and [learn how to delete them](https://help.livelyapps.com/diary-for-confluence-server/deleting-a-diary-entry.md).

# Sharing Diary entries with your team

Maybe you've already noticed that certain entries sometimes have a light blue background instead of a white one. Then you've already seen anchorlinks in use.

So, what are anchorlinks? Anchorlinks are just a simple way to directly share you entries with someone else.

If the person you shared your anchorlink with opens it, the entry you've selected will be scrolled into their view and also have a light blue background.

You can use them by clicking on the date of an entry.  
![image-20210706-123631.png](https://help.livelyapps.com/__attachments/a_33e1e6c42e68b32a3fdb3bc131f8e9a6602ad6e4d28a60da12c342e00ed67d11/image-20210706-123631.png?cb=43d3a2040c93535531decdcae15a1f98)

Notice that the entry now has a light blue background and is scrolled into your view. You now have selected this entry.

To share this entry you can now either copy the URL in your browser or right click on the date of the entry and copy the link directly.

You can test the effect of the anchorlink by simply reloading the page. Great! You now are a Diary expert!

# Task lists cannot be added via the Diary editor

Since Confluence 6.14, unfortunately, tasks lists cannot be added via the Diary editor anymore. When using the toolbar function (+) → Task list or the two-bracket shortcut \[\] nothing will happen. Existing tasks, however, are not affected.

## Origin

This issue came up after Confluence moved to TinyMCE v4 in Confluence 6.14. We have filed a [ticket](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-58525) with Atlassian, but this issue remains unresolved to this day.

### Workaround

When editing the whole page, task lists can be added to the individual entries (Content column) in the Diary macro. Those task lists can then be edited with the Diary task editor and marked as resolved as before.

---
language: "en"
---
# What is the "properties" column inside the Diary entries table good for?

As of now, the properties column serves no purpose.

Though, we are looking into adding features like tagging entries as important in the future.

The properties column then will contain the meta data for each entry needed to provide such a feature.

---
language: "en"
---
# Who has the permission to create, edit or delete entries?

To be able to create, edit and delete entries you need to have page edit permissions.

For people that are unable to edit your page there will be no editor prompt and edit / delete buttons.

* Which labels are used the most?

* Are there pages that haven't been updated in a long time?

With Usage Statistics for Confluence, you get answers to these questions (and more) in a clear, easy-to-read dashboard.

* **Clearer Labels:**

  * "Most popular content" → "Popular Content"

  * "Most recently edited pages" → "Latest Page Updates"

  * "Most used labels" → "Top Labels"

  * "Contributors" → "Top Contributors"

  * "Dustiest pages" → "Least Updated Pages"

  * "Highest Versions" → "Active Content"

* **Refined Descriptions:** Updated configuration labels like "Number of space watchers" to "Space Watchers" and "Content growth" to "Content Growth Trend" for better readability.

## UI Fix for Number Card Spacing

We increased the vertical margin between the large metric number and its subtitle.
