GitHub integration

Overview

Connect your GitHub account to automatically create releases in Privato whenever you tag a release in GitHub.

Connecting GitHub

1. Go to Integrations.
2. Click Connect inside the GitHub card.
3. Authorize Privato to access your repositories.

Linking a repository

Once GitHub is connected, you can connect a package to a specific repository.

During package creation, repositories are validated against both your GitHub account access and the access granted to the Privato integration.

Automatic sync

When you create a release on GitHub, Privato automatically:

1. Detects the new release via webhook
2. Downloads the repository at that tag
3. Creates a new release in Privato
4. Makes it available based on release channel rules and licensing

This typically happens within 1-2 minutes of tagging the release.

Manual sync

If a release was not synced automatically, you can trigger a manual sync:

1. Go to your package dashboard.
2. Click Releases.
3. Use the Sync releases action.

Manual syncs execute in the background and can take 1-2 minutes to complete.
