Getting Started

Connect GitHub

Live

Link GitHub so project-style deployments can pull repositories and deployment metadata cleanly.

Goal

Prepare your account for GitHub-backed project deployments.

Current status

Live

This area is documented as current, user-reliable behavior.

Workflow

  1. 1Start the GitHub connection flow from the relevant dashboard surface.
  2. 2Authorize the installation or account access StackShift requires.
  3. 3Return to the dashboard and verify repo access is available for project creation.

Why this matters

Connecting GitHub is what enables repository-backed projects, build context, and source-driven deployment behavior in the project flow.

When you actually need GitHub

  • Use it for source-driven project deployments.
  • You do not need it for raw Docker image deployments.
  • You also do not need it for direct Compose stacks or template-backed services.

Expected result

GitHub-backed project deployment becomes available in the product.
