GitHub: Continuous integration to Azure with organization repository

Question

I'm developing a game. GitHub as my source vault; Azure is my deployment platform. I created an organization for my game, since I hope it will eventually be more than just me working on it. There are two separate repositories within the organization, each of which will deploy to a separate Azure website. I need to link each repository to its respective website.

I know how to navigate to the Continuous Deployment blade, connect GitHub to it, and select my project and branch. However, the Choose Project blade doesn't list any of the organization projects, only my own. I change the authorization, but the authorizer requires me to log into a GitHub account. An organization isn't an account and doesn't have a direct login (as far as I can tell).

I hope that there is a way to do this, because this will be a big problem for me if I cannot link these repositories to their deployment destinations.

Answer 1

I have a blog post going over this in detail.

You can find it here: http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2015/08/10/using-app-service-web-apps-continuous-deployment-with-github-organizations/

Including it here as well for convenience as well:

Start with the Azure Preview Portal by authenticating to GitHub with your GitHub account that has access to the organizations you want to use.

From GitHub go to your user Settings.

Select Applications (1) from the Personal Settings section and click on the Azure Management Portal (2) form the Authorized Applications list.

This will bring up the authorized application permissions and will include a list of Organization access for the organization you belong to. If you are an Owner for the organization you will be able to Grant access directly from here, however if you are not an owner you will be able to Request Access and an Owner will need to approve it.

Once this access has been granted for the organization you will be able to select it when configuring Continuous Deployment. If you want to see a demo of this in action you can check out this Channel 9 video: GitHub continuous delivery in the Azure Preview Portal
