Octopus and GitHub. Better together.
Streamline complex deployments and let your developers stay in the flow
Use Octopus and GitHub seamlessly to tackle complex deployments
When using GitHub, you need tools that connect with it seamlessly and make it easy to scale and manage your software delivery. That’s where Octopus Deploy comes in.
Octopus is a best-of-breed Continuous Delivery platform that makes it simple to deliver software at any scale to Kubernetes, multi-cloud, on-prem environments, and anywhere else.
Octopus connects securely with GitHub, without needing credentials, and lets you easily manage your most complex deployments.

Visualize your deployments at a glance on dashboards. See the stage, environment, and state of each deployment across multiple repositories.
Tenants let you deploy to thousands of customers without duplicating effort. Manage each tenant's unique needs using tenant tags and variables.
Octopus runbooks let you automate routine and emergency operations tasks, freeing your teams for more crucial work.
With the Octopus Extension for GitHub Copilot, developers can stay in the flow and ship more features without context-switching.

Automate complex deployment workflows with Octopus actions
Octopus supports complex CD scenarios in ways GitHub Actions can't alone – but together they're better. Automate your builds with GitHub Actions and integrate with Octopus to handle your most complex deployments. Use Octopus actions to push artifacts, create releases, trigger deployments, and use runbooks in your GitHub workflows – fully automating your pipeline and reducing bottlenecks from start to finish. Learn more about Octopus actions.

Seamless, secure connectivity with GitHub
You can connect Octopus Deploy and GitHub easily and securely, without shared credentials. OpenID Connect allows your GitHub Actions workflows to communicate with Octopus Deploy without needing to share GitHub credentials with Octopus. The Octopus Deploy GitHub app enables deep integration without managing Octopus API keys in GitHub.
“Having Octopus in our GitHub pipeline is critical. It allows us to use the CLI to create our releases directly from GitHub. Without this in place, what we do would not be possible.”
