Publishing · Setting up your GitHub repository

If something's not right

• An approver who isn’t on the bypass list clicks Publish and Orbit explains that GitHub only accepts changes to the live branch through its own review. Add them to the bypass list (step 4) — or they can finish it on GitHub as a pull request.
• An editor without write access can’t send to testing; Orbit shows the push error. Give them the Write role (step 2).

Prefer every change reviewed on GitHub?

Set Settings ▸ Branches ▸ Go live to Through your git host’s review (goLive: pullRequest in the config). Then Publish opens GitHub’s page for reviewing the change instead of going live in Orbit.
