GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) Connection
Kapstan streamlines the process of integrating with the GitHub Container Registry (GHCR). By setting up a connection using GitHub App OAuth authentication, Kapstan can seamlessly deploy applications using container images from your organization or personal GitHub account. To achieve this integration, users must authenticate via a GitHub App and establish a connection in Kapstan.
