A Terraform provider plugin that manages GitHub resources such as repositories, teams, branch protections, actions secrets, rulesets, and webhooks via the GitHub REST and GraphQL APIs. It works with both GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise Server and is distributed through the Terraform Registry.

Use cases

• manage github repositories with terraform
• automate branch protection rules as code
• provision github teams and memberships declaratively
• manage github actions secrets and variables in iac
• configure github organization settings and rulesets via terraform
• set up deploy keys and webhooks automatically

When to choose

• you want to manage GitHub configuration declaratively alongside other infrastructure
• you need reproducible, version-controlled GitHub org or repo setup
• you use GitHub Enterprise Server and want infrastructure-as-code support

When to avoid

• you only need one-off GitHub API scripts rather than declarative state management
• you need official GitHub support for the integration (it is community-supported)
• you are not using Terraform at all
