Continuous Deployment support for repositories hosted on
GitHub has been a requested feature on our
User Voice site. I'm excited to say we've recently enabled this functionality in the
Azure Preview Portal.
To highlight how this works, check out the example below.
Create a new
organization in
GitHub and make sure you can deploy some of the repositories hosted to
Web Apps using
Continuous Deployment.
GitHub - Organization Access
Start with the
Azure Preview Portal by
authenticating your GitHub account to ensure access to the
organizations you want to use.
To do this, navigate to the site where you want to setup CI then:
- Click on Continuous Deployment.
- Select the CI Provider (in this case GitHub) and go through the authorization flow.
- Click Authorize and log in with your GitHub credentials.
From
GitHub go to your user
Settings (1).
Select
Applications (1) from the
Personal Settings section and click on the
Azure Management Portal (2) from the
Authorized Applications list.
This will bring up the authorized application permissions and will include a list of
Organization access for the organization you belong to.
If you are an
Owner for the organization you will be able to
Grant access (1) directly from here. However if you are not an owner you will need to
Request Access and an
Owner will need to approve it.

Once access has been granted for the organization you can select it when configuring
Continuous Deployment.
