Goal

Prepare your account for GitHub-backed project deployments.

Prerequisites

  • A StackShift account
  • A GitHub account with access to the repositories you want to deploy

Workflow

1
Start the GitHub connection flow from the relevant dashboard surface.
2
Authorize the installation or account access StackShift requires.
3
Return 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.
