Omni supports the following methods for connecting to a GitHub repository:
  • GitHub App authentication - Uses a GitHub app to perform authentication. Enables commit signing.
  • SSH authentication — Uses a deploy key and webhooks to connect Omni to your repository. This is the traditional method and requires configuring both a deploy key and a webhook in GitHub. You can either:
    • Use the deploy key Omni generates by default
    • Generate your own keypair and supply Omni with the private key
  • HTTPS token authentication — Uses a GitHub fine-grained access token to authenticate
Choose the method that best fits your team’s security requirements and preferences.
