Connecting your GitHub repository

3 min read

Link the repo you want to watch. Vernettic adds a push webhook and receives commit metadata only.

GitHub is the one input Vernettic needs. When you connect a repo, it adds a push webhook so new commits flow in automatically.

  1. 1Go to Settings → Connections.
  2. 2Under GitHub, click “connect github” and authorise the app.
  3. 3Click “choose a repo”, pick the repository you want to track, and click “track this repo”.
  4. 4Push any commit to test — it should appear on your Posts page shortly after.

What Vernettic receives

  • The commit message text and the names of changed files.
  • Branch name, repo name, and timestamp.
  • Never your code, diffs, file contents, or anything from private repos unless you explicitly opt in.
tip

Write clear commit messages — they’re the raw material for every post. “add dark mode toggle” makes a far better post than “wip”.
