Hello!

We ran into the same issue; on every plan, we have drift in random repositories, making it challenging to track real code changes and what the plan says.

Just to make sure, have you read the documentation?

Hi!

Yes, in our case, we are using GitHub App auth, but I can't find that information in the docs (Terraform registry).

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/integrations/github/latest/docs#github-app-installation

Edit:

I found it...

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/integrations/github/latest/docs/resources/repository

Thanks!

Edit 2:

I can confirm that after updating the app permissions, the drift disappeared.

Thanks @garysassano!
