The Spring Cloud Services Config Server service does not clone or pull updates from external Git repositories directly. Within a VMware Tanzu Application Service for VMs (TAS for VMs) foundation, a "mirror service" makes a full mirror of each Git repository ("R1", "R2", "R3") used by a Config Server service instance. The Config Server service instance, in turn, clones repositories from this mirror rather than cloning from the external Git server directly.
For information about updating Config Server Git repository mirrors, see Refreshing Git Mirrors.
