Pushes to a private GitHub organization repo never deploy on a Vercel Hobby account

No deployment is created for commits by teammates or bots

Verified 2026-10-15 · Confirmed by 0 builders · Trust 50/100

Cause

Hobby teams cannot deploy private repositories owned by a GitHub organization, GitLab group, or Bitbucket workspace, and only the Hobby owner's own commits deploy. On Pro, the commit author must be a team member linked through Login Connections.

Fix

Move the project to a Pro team and add the committers, make the repo personal or public, or deploy from CI with the Vercel CLI and a token.

Apply

vercel pull --yes --environment=production --token=$VERCEL_TOKEN
vercel build --prod --token=$VERCEL_TOKEN
vercel deploy --prebuilt --prod --token=$VERCEL_TOKEN

Affects: Vercel Hobby teams connected to organization owned private repos; Pro teams with non member commit authors; as of October 2026
