GitHub API Integration

Adding a GitHub API integration allows you to use the GitHub CLI in your pipelines.

The integration uses the GitHub personal access token. Buddy lets you add multiple integrations using different personal access tokens, which allows you to run GitHub CLI commands as different users.

Setting up the integration

1. Go to your pipeline and add the GitHub CLI action from the DevOps category.
2. Open the dropdown menu and click Add new integration.
