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.
