Teams building on Vercel for Platforms can now create deployments directly from their users' GitHub repositories, without requiring those users to install the Vercel GitHub App. Passing a gitAccessToken alongside gitSource when creating a deployment lets Vercel retrieve the source and build it.

  • The token should be read-only, scoped to the requested repository, and valid for 24 hours or less.
  • Vercel stores the token temporarily in encrypted form so it can complete the source retrieval.
  • The token is never stored on the deployment, according to the changelog entry.
