     If you need to create a configuration source provider, select Create configuration source provider and enter values. For information about the fields, see Creating a GitHub Configuration Source Provider or Creating a GitLab Configuration Source Provider.
  5. Select the Git repository and branch. The list of branches is limited to 100.
  6. (Optional) To use a directory other than the root directory for running Terraform, specify the working directory. This field is visible when the selected branch has directories. Examples:
     • One level: Directory
     • Two levels: Directory/Subdirectory
  7. (Optional) To use custom providers, select Use custom providers and then select the bucket that contains the custom provider.
  8. (Optional) Edit the default stack name and enter a stack description. Avoid entering confidential information.
  9. Select the compartment where you want to create the stack.
  10. For Terraform version, select the version used by the Terraform configuration.
  11. (Optional) Select Show advanced options and assign tags to the stack.
      • Tag namespace: To add a defined tag, select an existing namespace. To add a free-from tag, leave the value blank.
      • Tag key: To add a defined tag, select an existing tag key. To add a free-form tag, type the key name that you want.
      • Tag value: Type the tag value that you want.
      • Add tag: Click to add another tag.
  12. Select Next.
  13. In the Configure variables panel, review the variables listed from the Terraform configuration and change as needed.
      Important
      
      Don't add your private key or other confidential information to configuration variables.
  14. Select Next.
  15. In the Review panel, verify the stack configuration.
  16. (Optional) To automatically provision resources on creation of the stack, select Run apply.
  17. Select Create.

  The stack is created and its Stack details page opens.

  If you selected Run apply, then Resource Manager runs the apply action on the new stack.
