Overview

The Pulumi GitHub provider allows you to manage your GitHub organization and repository settings as code. This is a form of policy enforcement for your development process. You can define branch protection rules, required status checks, repository secrets, and team permissions declaratively. This ensures that all repositories in an organization adhere to a consistent set of security and development workflow policies.

✨ Key Features

  • Enforce required status checks before merging
  • Configure repository collaborators and team access
  • Manage repository secrets and variables
  • Define repository settings like default branch and features

🎯 Key Differentiators
