# Connect a GitHub repository to your collection

Connect a GitHub repository and branch to your collection and collaborate with your team on your collection's releases. For example, connect your repository's primary branch to your collection, [fork that collection in Postman](/docs/integrations/available-integrations/github/collections/collaborate/#fork-a-collection-connected-to-your-github-repository-and-branch), and [collaborate with your team on your collection's next release](/docs/integrations/available-integrations/github/collections/collaborate/#collaborate-on-your-collection).

<Note title="Note">
  This feature has been deprecated and it's no longer possible to create a new connection between a GitHub repo and a collection. Existing connections between repos and collections will continue to sync.

## Connect a GitHub repository and branch to your collection

Before you get started, create your repository and primary branch.

To connect a GitHub repository and branch to your collection, do the following:

1. Open your collection.

2. Next to your collection, click <img alt="Options icon" src="https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/aether-icons/action-options-stroke.svg#icon" width="16px" /> **View more actions**. Then, click **More** > **Connect repository**.

3. Choose where you host your repository:

   * If you choose **GitHub**, Postman asks you to authenticate. Follow the onscreen instructions.
   * If you choose **GitHub Enterprise Server**, Postman asks you for your GitHub domain. Enter or select it, and click **Authenticate**. Then, follow the onscreen instructions.

4. Select an organization.

5. If you don't see your organization, you may need to [install the GitHub App to your organization first](https://docs.github.com/apps/using-github-apps/installing-a-github-app-from-a-third-party). To get started, follow the onscreen instructions.

6. Select a repository and branch.

7. (Optional) Enter a directory path for your collection file.

8. Click **Connect**.

Postman creates a collection file in the connected repository and branch. The collection's file name is the collection ID. Each time you save your collection in Postman, your changes are committed to the connected GitHub repository and branch.

To start collaborating on your next release, see [Collaborate on your collection's release](/docs/integrations/available-integrations/github/collections/collaborate/).

## Disconnect a GitHub repository and branch from your collection

If you want to connect a different repository or branch to your collection, or need to troubleshoot your connection, you can start by disconnecting GitHub from your collection.

To disconnect a GitHub repository and branch from your collection, do the following:

1. Open your collection.
2. Next to your collection, click <img alt="Options icon" src="https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/aether-icons/action-options-stroke.svg#icon" width="16px" /> **View more actions**. Then, click **More** > **Disconnect repository**.
3. Enter your collection's name. Then, click **Disconnect repository**.

Your collection is no longer connected to the GitHub repository and branch.
