Connect GitHub

• Find the GitHub integration module under the Version control section

• Click the Connect button

• You’ll be taken through a standard GitHub app OAuth flow

  • Select one or more repos to grant access to

You must be logged in as a GitHub user with admin permissions in selected repo, or as an owner in the GitHub org.

• GitHub redirects you back to Runway

  • If you granted access to more than one repo, Runway will present you with a dropdown to select a specific repo

Add a release tag pattern

• Runway uses this to read tags from GitHub and delineate your releases, and also to generate tags when auto-tagging releases upon completion

• Pattern accepts the string {version} as a stand-in for the release version, e.g. v{version}

Runway expects version strings that adhere to Semantic Versioning principles — formatted as x.y.z (representing major.minor.patch).

Add a release branch pattern

• For GitFlow or similar, pattern accepts the string {version} as a stand-in for the release version, e.g. release-ios-{version}

  • You can assign different patterns to different types of releases using the Release type dropdown

• Omit pattern for trunk-based, e.g. main

  • Be sure to select all types in the Release type dropdown

Add any additional branches

• Working branch: your main working branch, e.g. development

• Staging branch: if you create your Release Candidate builds from some branch other than your release branch, set that here

• Deploy branch: if you create your final builds from some branch other than your release branch, set that here
