# git

Use `git` commands to manage the GitHub repository connection. Connecting enables the OIDC credential exchange for GitHub Actions deploys and the branch lifecycle automation. See [GitHub integration](/guides/integrations-github) and [Deploy on push](/guides/integrations-deploy-on-push).

## [Usage](#usage)

::::tabs
:::tab{title="bun"}
```
bunx prisma git connect
```
:::

:::tab{title="pnpm"}
```bash
pnpm prisma git connect
```
:::

:::tab{title="yarn"}
```bash
yarn prisma git connect
```
:::

:::tab{title="npm"}
```bash
npx prisma git connect
```

Run it from a [linked](/guides/platform-project) project directory. The command needs an interactive terminal: it opens the browser to install the GitHub App when needed and waits for the install. With `--no-interactive` it fails with `CLI.INTERACTION_REQUIRED`. Connecting from the CLI does not add a deploy workflow to the repository. [Add it yourself](/guides/integrations-deploy-on-push#4-add-the-deploy-workflow), or connect through the [Console](https://pris.ly/pdp), which opens a pull request with the workflow.
