Troubleshooting GitHub OAuth Integration

Please note: your CI environment must expose git commit information in order for cypress agent to send commit details (sha, repository url etc.) and enable the integration.

Cypress agents use https://github.com/cypress-io/commit-info package to discover git-related information.

• To expose your git information, please make sure that .git directory is present in your CI environment

• You can explicitly provide git information via environment variables

branch: COMMIT_INFO_BRANCH
message: COMMIT_INFO_MESSAGE
email: COMMIT_INFO_EMAIL
author: COMMIT_INFO_AUTHOR
sha: COMMIT_INFO_SHA
timestamp: COMMIT_INFO_TIMESTAMP
remote: COMMIT_INFO_REMOTE
