Request to Enable GitHub Environments for Upstream Organization Repositories

Hi,

I noticed that the GitHub Environments feature (Settings → Environments in the repository) is not available in our upstream organization repositories. This feature is important for managing deployments, approvals, and environment-specific secrets in our workflows.

Could you please enable or make the Environments feature available for these repositories?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Eli.

Hey Eli,
Just wanted to chime in here - GitHub Environments are actually available for all repository types (public, private, and internal) across all plans, including free organizations. So the feature should already be accessible to you.
A few things to check:

Repository permissions - Make sure you have admin access to the repository. Only admins can create and manage environments.
Navigation path - Go to the repository → Settings → Environments (it's in the left sidebar under "Code and automation"). If you don't see it, try checking if you're looking at the org settings instead of the repo settings by mistake.
Organization policies - Sometimes organization owners can restrict certain features. You might want to check with your org admins to see if there are any policies blocking this.

If you're still not seeing the Environments option after verifying these, it might be worth reaching out to GitHub Support directly since they can look into account-specific issues. You can contact them at https://support.github.com/.
Hope this helps!
