GitHub checks

GitHub checks are status indicators that show whether CI jobs passed or failed for a given commit. When Depot CI runs a workflow, it automatically reports a check for each job on the corresponding commit. These checks appear in several places in GitHub:

• Pull requests: at the bottom of the Conversation tab and in the Checks tab
• Commits: from the Commits page, click the status icon (green checkmark, red X, or yellow dot) for any commit see a list of checks

Each check is named after the workflow and job, for example CI / build or Deploy / deploy-production. You can identify Depot CI checks by the Depot icon in the checks list. As jobs progress, Depot updates the check status in real time.

To view the full run in Depot, click Details on a check, then click View more details on Depot Code Access to open the Depot CI page for that workflow run.

When you rerun a workflow or retry a failed job, Depot updates the existing check rather than creating a duplicate.
