Hi,

I want some clarification on regarding transfer of the project to a railway user who is not part of our Github team. I had connected the service using the github integration for an organization. after the transfer of the project i can see that its still connected.

My question is that is it still actually connected to github and will deploy on push to github. and can the new owner of the project can see and use other github repos of orgnanization because of the connection to the organization?

Thanks.

Yes, the GitHub connection carries over with the project, and pushes to the connected repo will still trigger deploys. One thing to know: if the repo is private and the person pushing isn't a member of the new owner's project or workspace on Railway, each deploy will wait for approval in their deployments list instead of going out automatically.

On your second question: no, the new owner can't see or connect other repos from your GitHub organization. The repo list in Railway only ever shows repos the viewing user's own GitHub account can access. What they can see is the connected repo's name and branch, and redeploys of that service will keep pulling from it. If you want to cut that tie, have the new owner connect the service to their own repo, or remove the repo from the Railway GitHub App's access in your org's GitHub settings.
