## At a glance

Authenticate to GitHub using short-lived tokens instead of long-lived PATs
or deploy keys. Manage one GitHub application instead of hundreds of secrets
across the organization.

GitHub access for new pipelines is automatic, and additional access
permissions can be granted centrally in a fully visible and auditable
fashion.

Like the Elastic Stack, BYO compute. Your environment, your security. Fits
your existing compliance requirements and infrastructure.

Audit logs give clarity over access: pipelines, repositories and permissions
are fully visible and auditable. Errors are also recorded for later analysis
as required.

Designed with Buildkite in mind, Chinmina Bridge provides plugins that make
integration seamless. Full or partial cutover? Your choice. Progressive
adoption is easy.
