Deploying from a private repo in Github

[amyegan]

Hey @elindo586,

It looks like you ran into a few different problems. Sorry this process has been so difficult for you.

If you want it to deploy automatically whenever you push changes to your GitHub repo, then you’ll need to connect the repo to your Vercel project. You’ll also need to make sure the metadata on the commit matches up with your GitHub and Vercel accounts.

Auto deploy from GitHub not working

Can you verify that the person who made the commit is a current member of your Vercel team? If the commit email address doesn’t match up with the one from your GitHub and Vercel accounts, then the deployment could be blocking it as an unrecognized user. You can check the local setting by running the git config --global user.email. And you can update it with git config --global user.email "YOUR_EMAIL" if the email doesn’t match your account.

When you deploy with the CLI for the first time, it should present you with a prompt to choose a new or existing project. But you can also use the vercel link command to link a local directory to a Vercel project.

The docs have more info about deploying private repos:

Deploying Git Repositories with Vercel

Please let me know if you’re still having trouble after updating git metadata and reviewing the documentation. We can dig into this together and figure out why it’s not working for you.
