Summary

We are happy to announce the recent launch of our GitHub App integration, which provides more granular repository permissions, better handling of deploy keys, webhooks, and deploy notifications. The new integration allows users to give Netlify access to specific organizations and repositories rather than all of their repositories and organizations, with added flexibility to add or remove repo access as needed. This change also means that webhooks and deploy keys are now managed automatically by the installation, reducing moving parts for a simpler setup, while comments, commit status, and other GitHub notifications are now posted under "Netlify" instead of personal accounts. Additionally, deploy summaries are now shown using the Checks API, providing more insight into every commit and Pull Request. Existing sites linked to a GitHub repo will be automatically upgraded to the new app with minimal user interaction, making it easy for users to take advantage of this feature.
