Not if you're using more than git from github, for example downloading releases as zip files for deployment.
There are probably a lot of other tempting features to put on your deployment critical path but I'm not in an environment that uses github so I've forgotten.
- bananaboy 9y agoYeah definitely. I was just thinking about the basic use case where you deploy from it and that's it.
- WorldMaker 9y agoWebhooks are a big one: rather than polling a git server for changes it is very easy for CI/CD systems to rely on GitHub's HTTP webhooks in their critical path to kick things off on push/PR/branch/merge. Especially because GitHub does a great job of populating its webhooks with tons of useful information about the event that's tough to replicate with just git post-hooks.
