Unsupported Settings

Not all features or settings of a GitHub organization and its associated resources can be managed by the means of otterdog. The following non-exhaustive list outlines settings that are currently not supported:

  • setting the profile picture of an organization or a social media preview for a repository #119
  • manage items that should be visible on the main page, i.e. releases, packages, deployments
  • manage default repository labels on organization level
  • secrets and variables for codespaces and dependabot
  • managing GitHub apps or oauth policies
  • managing pinned repositories for an organization
  • supporting merge queue settings for a branch protection rule #86
  • transfer a repo from one organization to another organization
  • (deprecated) tag protections #143, use rulesets instead

Most of the unsupported settings are only accessible via the Web UI of GitHub. In case you would like to have a specific feature of GitHub being supported by otterdog, please open a ticket.
