GitHub

GitHub (Enterprise and Cloud) can be connected as a Source Code Management (SCM) integration in Gitpod.

What does the GitHub integration do?

SCM providers are connected to individual user accounts in Gitpod to allow Gitpod to:

1. Pull repository content into workspaces.
2. Allow users to commit back to SCM from their workspaces.
