GitHub Connectivity and Workspace Creation

In this episode, we'll guide you through setting up a fresh Terraform Cloud account and connecting it to your GitHub repository.

Each GitHub repository represents a workspace in our Terraform Cloud account. To start using these workspaces effectively, we need to connect them with the appropriate permissions and settings.

Choosing Your Connection Options

When connecting your GitHub account to Terraform Cloud, you'll be presented with two options:

• Allow access to all repositories: This option grants Terraform full visibility into all of your GitHub repositories.
• Select specific repositories: If you prefer a more controlled approach, you can choose which repositories Terraform should see.

If you select specific repositories, it's essential to keep in mind that access needs to be updated whenever new repositories are created on GitHub. To do this:

1. Navigate to your account settings.
2. Go to the Applications section in the Settings page.
3. Locate the Terraform Cloud app in the list of installed applications.
4. Click Configure.

By following these steps, you can ensure seamless integration between GitHub repositories and Terraform workspaces.
