Source control

A source-control (SCM) provider is how GantryCD talks to your Git platform. A single provider handles the whole relationship:

• Webhooks — verify and normalize deliveries into provider-neutral events (a push, a pull-request change) that drive deployments.
• Clone credentials — mint short-lived credentials so a runner can clone the repo, without storing a long-lived token on the stack.
• Pull-request projection — fetch PR metadata so GantryCD can post preview plans and track state.

Adding another platform (GitLab, Bitbucket, …) is an extension point — the durable webhook inbox, PR projection, and push-triggered deployments downstream are all provider-agnostic.

Connecting a specific repository to a stack — and what automatic plans you get on push and PR — is covered in Connecting repositories.
