Setup GitHub Integration for CI/CD

Akto’s integration with GitHub enterprise and Github.com allows you to maintain API security through GitHub pull requests itself.

With this integration, you'll be able to

Check status of Akto CICD tests directly from GitHub pull requests through quality gates

Check result of Akto CICD tests directly from comment posted on Github pull request

Prerequisites

• A Github app with required permissions needs to be installed on your repository as well as integrated in Akto.

Steps to add Github comments on pull request

• Follow run test in CICD to trigger CICD tests via GitHub action.

• Add variable GITHUB_COMMIT_ID : ${{github.event.pull_request.head.sha}} in our Github Plugin in order to trigger Akto CICD reporting on Github PR.
