 This simple GitHub action workflow will deploy your Trigger.dev tasks when new code is pushed to the `main` branch and the `trigger` directory has changes in it.

+
+## How it works
+
+Once you connect a GitHub repository to your project, you can configure tracking branches for the production and staging environments.
+Every push to a tracked branch creates a deployment in the corresponding environment. Preview branch deployments are also supported for pull requests.
+
+This eliminates the need to manually run the `trigger.dev deploy` command or set up custom CI/CD workflows.
+
+## Setup
+
+<Steps>
+
+<Step title="Install our GitHub app">
+  Go to your project's settings page and click `Install GitHub app`.
+  This will take you to GitHub to authorize the Trigger.dev app for your organization or personal account.
+</Step>
+
+<Step title="Connect your repository">
+  Select a repository to connect to your project.
+</Step>
+
+<Step title="Configure branch tracking">
+  Choose which branches should trigger automatic deployments:
+
+  - **Production**: The branch that deploys to your production environment, e.g., `main`.
+  - **Staging**: The branch that deploys to your staging environment.
+  - **Preview**: Toggle to enable preview deployments for pull requests
+</Step>
+
+<Step title="Customize build settings (optional)">
+  Configure how your project is built:
+
+  - **Trigger config file**: Path to your `trigger.config.ts` file. By default, we look for it in the root of your repository.
+  - **Install command**: Auto-detected by default, but you can override it if necessary.
+  - **Pre-build command**: Run any commands before building and deploying your project, e.g., `pnpm run prisma:generate`.
+</Step>
+
+</Steps>
+
+## Branch tracking
+
+Our GitHub integration uses branch tracking to determine when and where to deploy your code.
+
+![Trigger.dev project git settings](/deployment/git-settings.png)
+
+### Production and staging branches
+
+When you connect a repository, the default branch of your repository will be used as the production tracking branch, by default.
+
+When you configure a production or staging branch, every push to that branch will trigger a deployment.
+Our build server will install the project dependencies, build your project, and deploy it to the corresponding environment.
+
+If there are multiple consecutive pushes to a tracked branch, the later deployments will be queued until the previous deployment completes.
+
+<Note>
+  When you connect a repository, the default branch of your repository will be used as the production tracking branch by default.
+  You can change this in the git settings of your project.
+</Note>
+
+### Pull requests
+
+By default, pull requests will be deployed to preview branch environments, enabling you to test changes before merging.
+When the pull request is merged or closed, the preview branch is automatically archived.
+
+The name of the preview branch matches the branch name of the pull request.
+
+<Note>
+  Preview branch deployments require the preview environment to be enabled on your project. Learn more about [preview branches](/deployment/preview-branches).
+</Note>
+
+## Disconnecting a repository
+
+You can disconnect a repository at any time from your project git settings. This will stop automatic deployments triggered from GitHub.
+
+## Managing repository access
+
+To add or remove repository access for the Trigger.dev GitHub app, follow the link in the `Connect GitHub repository` modal:
+
+![Trigger.dev prompt to connect a GitHub repository](/deployment/connect-repo.png)
+
+Alternatively, you can follow these steps on GitHub:
+
+1. Go to your GitHub account settings
+2. Navigate to **Settings** → **Applications** → **Installed GitHub Apps**
+3. Click **Configure** next to `Trigger.dev App`
+4. Update repository access under `Repository access`
+
+Changes to repository access will be reflected immediately in your Trigger.dev project settings.
+
+## Environment variables at build time
+
+You can expose environment variables during the build and deployment process by prefixing them with `TRIGGER_BUILD_`.
+Build extensions will also have access to these variables.
+
+Build environment variables only apply to deployments in the environment you set them in.
+
+Learn more about managing [environment variables](/deploy-environment-variables).
+
+## Using a private npm registry
+
+If your project uses packages from a private npm registry, you can provide authentication by setting a `TRIGGER_BUILD_NPM_RC` environment variable.
+
+The value should be the contents of your `.npmrc` file including any token credentials, encoded to base64.
+
+### Example
+
+Example `.npmrc` file containing credentials for a private npm registry and a GitHub package registry:
+
+```
+//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=<YOUR_NPM_TOKEN>
+@<YOUR_NAMESPACE>:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
+//npm.pkg.github.com/:always-auth=true
+//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=<YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN>
+```
+
+Encode it to base64:
+
+```bash
+# Encode your .npmrc file
+cat .npmrc | base64
+```
+
+Then, set the `TRIGGER_BUILD_NPM_RC` environment variable in your project settings with the encoded value.
+
+<Note>
+  The build server will automatically create a `.npmrc` file in the installation directory based on the content of the `TRIGGER_BUILD_NPM_RC` environment variable.
+  This enables the build server to authenticate to your private npm registry.
+</Note>
