Shared Git User for Automatic Pushes

When auto-push is enabled, you will be prompted to authenticate with a shared user, and fetched changes will be pushed on his behalf.

Please ensure that the shared GitHub user has admin permissions for the repository

Personal Git Credentials for Deployments

Each team member deploying to this environment must authenticate with their personal Git credentials.

If deployment pull requests (PRs) are enabled, ensure that the personal Git user has the necessary permissions to create and update PRs for the environment branch, as well as squash and merge them. If PRs are not enabled, the user must have direct push permissions for the environment branch.

Squash and merge settings can be configured in your repository settings under the General section. ​

After you authenticate with your GitHub user, you may not yet see your repos in Salto

Salto's GitHub app must be installed on your GitHub organization and have access to the repository you would like to connect.
