GitHub as Code

GitHub as Code is a commercial solution built on top of our open-source Terraform modules for GitHub. It helps our customers to manage their GitHub organization more efficiently by enabling anyone in their organization to self-service manage on- and offboarding of users, repositories, and settings such as branch protections, secrets, and more through code. GitHub as Code comes with pre-configured GitHub Actions pipelines for change pre-view in Pull Requests, fully automated rollouts and rollbacks. It's a comprehensive, ready-to-use blueprint maintained by our team of platform engineering experts and saves companies such as yours tons of time by building on top of a pre-configured solution instead of building and maintaining it yourself.

Module Versioning

This Module follows the principles of Semantic Versioning (SemVer).

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, we increment the:

1. MAJOR version when we make incompatible changes,
2. MINOR version when we add functionality in a backwards compatible manner, and
3. PATCH version when we make backwards compatible bug fixes.

Backwards compatibility in 0.0.z and 0.y.z version

• Backwards compatibility in versions 0.0.z is not guaranteed when z is increased. (Initial development)
• Backwards compatibility in versions 0.y.z is not guaranteed when y is increased. (Pre-release)
