We want to create custom site where new fixlet and task will be updated from github link.

Similar to external site where new fixlet get update automatically.

You will need to use the rest API to accomplish that

  1. Rest API to create Fixlet Content
  2. Update it into a Custom Site

Do you have experience with this procedure?

You can use the plugin portal to achieve this.

I don’t think it can with the plugin portal as far as I know… but you could use a BigFix Server Plugin Service to do this.

I do have examples of exporting content to GIT from custom sites, but I don’t have the reverse currently, but would like to… the tricky part is handling deletes and renames.

This is meant to be a plugin or can be run as a python script directly to export all custom content to the file system, which then can be commited to GIT as a backup:

This is the opposite of what you are looking for though.

You want GitHub to be the source of truth and BigFix to sync from it. I also want this.
