Omni supports two methods for connecting to repositories:
  • 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 to authenticate. This method is simpler to set up because it doesn’t require deploy keys or webhooks.
Choose the method that best fits your team’s security requirements and preferences.
