# Adding write permissions for Actions to Shopify’s GitHub app

Shopify’s GitHub app is requesting write permissions for GitHub Actions. This update will support improvements to the developer experience for [Hydrogen](https://hydrogen.shopify.dev/) custom storefronts hosted on Oxygen.

Today, deployments to the Oxygen hosting platform can only be triggered by committing and pushing a change to a Hydrogen code repository. These additional permissions will enable features such as on-demand re-deploys, automatic branch deployment when creating new Oxygen environments, and other enhancements.
