   If you don’t have the ability to add or edit Variables in the GitHub repository, contact the Kalamuna Tech team lead for DevOps to either make the change or grant you access to do so.

9. You should see a variable for DEPLOY_REPO. If not, create one. To get the Value, go to the Pantheon Dashboard and click "Connection Info". In the SSH Clone URL field, copy everything after "git clone", starting with ssh://

10. Paste the ssh:// code into the DEPLOY_REPO variable and save.

11. The GitHub repo will now deploy to Pantheon whenever a push is made to the master branch.

See GitHub Actions Deployment for more information about GitHub actions.
